Problem with attaching photos from Camera Roll on iPhone XR

My iPhone XR doesn't allow me to attach pictures directly from Camera Roll to Apps (Eg. iMessage, WhatsApp, etc.) using the "share" button. But while using iMessage or WhatsApp, I am able to access the Camera Roll and attach pictures. Any clue why it doesnt work directly from camera roll?

Hello bnsrini,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're not able to share a photo from the Photos app to some apps, but can if you're using the app itself. If you haven't already, restart your iPhone as restarting can resolve many odd issues: Restart your iPhone


Also be sure your software and apps are updated. If updates are needed, back up your iPhone first:

After restarting and updating, check to see if the issue continues. Just in case, more information on sharing can be found here: Share photos and videos on iPhone


Let us know how it goes.


Take care.
