Cannot Add Photo to Album

Hi, I have an iphone 12 mini. I've created an album on the iphone and I've followed online instructions for how to add a photo to an album, but it won't work. If I click on a photo, then click top three dots, then click "Add to Album", I see the album I want to add it to in "My Albums" section. But, when I click the desired album, I'm simply taken to that album. It doesn't actually add the photo. There's no way to complete and confirm that action to make it add the photo; there's no "enter" function. So, it's like I'm stuck. I also tried doing the same function on my laptop in icloud website, and I run into the exact same same problem. Yes my iphone is updated.

I have tried this method as well and it also does not work. (My wife also can't add an album on her iphone 12 mini, so it's not just me). When I "add to album" and then click on the album, there is no way to finalize the action, it simply takes me to that album, it does not add a photo.


This should be unrelated, but in case it helps and it's related, I have run out of icloud storage (so did my wife on her phone). Could it be that this is affecting the functionality of adding a photo to albums on our phones?
