Photos Shared library empty on Mac I updated my phone to a shared library (shared with my wife), everything looks normal on our phones. I just updated my Mac Studio to Ventura and Photos says my shared library is empty. My personal library is showing as expected.

iCloud Photos Shared Library fails to share I invite my wife to a shared photo library and her device it says: "user has removed permission or deleted the shared photo library." I've tried this >5 times in the past few weeks. I've tried everything I could imagine: - deleting the shared library altogether and re-enabling - disabling iCloud photo sharing - rebooting every device in the house, after each of the previous steps What is going on? How do I fix? My phone is at iOS 16.1 and iPadOS is at 16.1. MacOS is at the current version of Ventura.

Apple is still working out the kinks. It's going take a month or so.

Yes! After hours of loading photos I’m getting

“unable to join shared library, try again later” on my wife’s phone.
