16.1 Don't see shared photo library settings?

I installed 16.1 on my phone and my iPad and a Mac. I have looked in all the settings and I don't see shared photo libraries. What am I missing?

Are you using the instructions in Set up or join an iCloud Shared Photo Library in Photos on iPhone - Apple Support including the following:


Before you begin

Before you set up or join an iCloud Shared Photo Library, make sure you have iCloud Photos turned on.

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then make sure Sync this iPhone is on.

Note: You don’t need Family Sharing turned on to set up a Shared Library.


Set up iCloud Shared Photo Library

The person who sets up iCloud Shared Photo Library is the organizer.

Go to Settings  > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, tap Shared Library, then follow the instructions onscreen to add participants and move photos into the Shared Library.



On a Mac running Ventura, open the Photos app, click Settings on the Photos menu, click Shared Library in the bar at the top of the Photos Settings window.
