Hi missierx,


Thanks for reaching out and posting your question in Apple Support Communities.


You should be able to download photos or video in a shared album. We do see that you selected Business and Education, if the iPhone is owned and managed by a business, you may need to reach out to the IT person to see if they have restrictions placed on the iPhone.


These steps are found in: How to use Shared Albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple Support.

Save photos and videos from a shared album

When you share photos and videos with someone, they can save shared items to their own library.
1. Tap the photo or video.
2. Tap the Share button .
3. Tap Save Image or Save Video.


Reach out anytime you have questions.



Take care!
