Shared album photos disapearing

I'm trying to make a shared album but when I add the photos they keep getting removed from it. They aren't duplicated photos and I've tried resetting my phone and turning off shared albums.

Hiya logan-marcy1!

If you're experiencing issues with photos disappearing from a shared album on your iPhone 13, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Update your software: Ensure that your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Apple often releases updates that address bugs and improve performance, so updating your device may resolve the issue.
  2. Check your iCloud storage: Make sure you have sufficient iCloud storage available to accommodate the photos in the shared album. If your iCloud storage is full, it could cause unexpected behavior or syncing issues. Consider freeing up space or upgrading your iCloud storage plan if necessary.
  3. Disable and re-enable iCloud Photos: Go to Settings on your iPhone, tap on your name at the top, select "iCloud," and then "Photos." Toggle off iCloud Photos, wait for a few moments, and then toggle it back on. This can refresh the syncing process and potentially resolve any syncing issues.
  4. Leave and rejoin the shared album: If you're the owner of the shared album, try removing yourself from the album and then have someone else re-invite you. This action can sometimes resolve issues with disappearing photos.


Remember to back up your important photos before attempting any troubleshooting steps to ensure you don't lose any valuable data.

Let me know if the issue persists,
