Send/share Apple TV photos?

I am playing Hello kitty island adventure on my Apple TV. In the game your are able to take photos and they save to your device. However on the Apple TV there is no way to send/share or even delete the photo and it doesn't show up on any other device or iCloud account to view. I turned off the settings and turned them back on and the photos I had taken in game disappeared completely from the photos app.

I have iCloud photos turned on in my Apple TV settings as well as shared albums etc.

I took more photos and I can see them in the photos app on the Apple TV but not on any other device or iCloud account. I am still unable to share or send the photos to another device or even delete them from the Apple TV so I am not sure what is going on.

I would like to be able to have the photos I take in game on my iPhone/iPad so that I may post them online. Is there something I am missing?

If an app has permission to upload images to your iCloud Photos, then that is where you will find them.

You can share (send) them through your other devices, but not on Apple TV directly.

You can delete them through your other devices, not on Apple TV directly.

Your iCloud Photos are also accessible though the iCloud site. Sharing or deleting is possible from there.

You may have your other device(s) set up to not use iCloud for your photos, perhaps?

For iPhone or iPad: Settings﹥[Your name]﹥iCloud﹥Photos﹥Sync this [device]﹥On|Off. When set to not sync, then that device will not upload to, nor download from iCloud, for the Photos app and its Library.
