Under "Share" in Photos, there is no longer an option to "Share desktop picture." I just used it a few days ago to put a picture on my desktop. Have others noticed this? Or have I done something? I just downloaded the update for Monterey 12, but same thing shows.

Hello robjoan,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you are trying to set a picture in Photos as your desktop wallpaper. The way you describe should still be an option, but make sure you've selected the photo first. With the photo selected, either right-click or select the Share icon. You may need to choose More to see if that "Set Desktop Picture" option needs to be added back to your Share menu.
The other way to set a picture as your desktop wallpaper is through System Preferences:
Customize the desktop picture on your Mac - Apple Support
Take care.

Strange, but yesterday the Set Desktop Picture appeared once more in Share. It was definitely not there when I wrote this question. Thank you for the reply!
Hey there robjoan,
We're happy to hear your issue has been resolved!
Have a great day!
