Not receiving deletion notifications when a photo is deleted from a shared iCloud photo library.
I currently have a shared iCloud photo library set up between me and my husband. According to apple support documents, when he deletes a photo I have shared to the library, I am supposed to receive a notification but I am not receiving them. I have set up shared libraries between 2 of my children's devices and they get notifications when the other deletes a photo. The notification looks similar to when someone comments or likes a photo in a shared album with the picture app icon.
Things tried so far:
- All devices are running the most current software (16.3)
- Confirmed option for notification is toggled on in settings.
- Toggling off and on notification multiple times.
- Toggled on and off photo notifications in general
- Restarting the device
- Deleting the shared library and re-adding it (multiple times)
- Tried inviting the library from different devices
- Set up a shared library with someone else - still no notifications
- Signed out of iCloud on all devices
- Factory resetting ALL my apple devices
- Contacted apple support - they had no solution
I have found next to no information out there related deletion notification and frankly I think it's because a lot of people don't realize they are supposed to be receiving a notification when someone else deletes a photo. In addition, I think there's confusion between shared iCloud photo library and shared albums.
If anyone has found a solution I would greatly appreciate it.
