Shared Albums and iCloud Access

How do I get my shared photo albums to show up in my iCloud? NOTE: the shared album was created and filled while on my iPhone 8S. I've now converted to a 12 Pro. The shared albums are on my new phone. When looking at my iCloud account under photos, the shared albums are not there for selection or copying. Thanks!

Shared photo albums are not visible on your iCloud space.


They can be viewed in iOS/macOS photo apps and on a PC, in iCloud for Windows.


If the creator of the album chose the public website option, there will be a specific iCloud URL for viewing the album.
