iOs 17.1.1 - share button is broken, please advice how to fix the bug

I have the same issue. In my case the icons are shown in the Share Menu but nothing happens when I click on them.

Ok I found a reliable fix! It’s stayed fixed for a couple days this time:

Settings > Siri and Search > suggestions from Apple header, toggle off the “Show when Sharing” feature

This seems to be some kind of Siri bug. The Siri share suggestions are actually very good so it’s super unfortunate to have to turn it off, but it works!

Props goes to someone on Reddit that shared this, but I can’t find the user or post anymore.

Hello.

Just updated to 17.2.1. The issue remains. :$

Come on Apple! I cannot even use Airdrop because of this!

Same issue and I can confirm it doesn’t matter if I’m connected to wi-fi or not, and it is the share button itself that seems broken (doesn't work for sharing contacts, screencaps, files, etc), doesn't matter what ap I'm trying to share things out of, Apple native ap or otherwise.

Im also noticing the problem seems to have started since the 17.1.2 install.

Same issue for me, since the recent update.

Plus also same thing on my iPad, intensely frustrating as my job relies on being able to 'share' documents/photos. Anyone at Apple found a fix yet ? I thought it was an iCloud issue at first, rebooted the iCloud and it worked for half a day, then reverted.

IOS 17.2 does not fix this. All Apps are updated.

I have the same issue. It started with the iOS 17.1.2 upgrade.

I Did the same thing. won’t fix it. it will back in couple of hours. I can’t believe they still didn’t fix a HUGE bug like this!

Just to tell everyone on this thread that Apple support says this issue is not in their database. I recommend that everyone that is having this problem call Apple so that they are made aware of the problem

It has now been more than a month since these posts first appeared. There have been two updates to the OS, but still the bug exists.For inexplicable reasons, my iPhone sharing works, but my iPad does not.

Apple, please fix this bug!!

Hey I’m still having this issue on my iPhone 15, iOS 17.2.1

I tried all workarounds, disabling Siri only worked for a couples of hours and the reboot only worked the first time.

Came on apple!!! This is one of the most used features and this bugs has been reported 45 days ago! do something

facing same issue. Were you able to fix it?

This starred with 17.2.1 update for me. Force power off (volume up, volume dn, side button) fixed it the first time. 2 days later, started again. Force power cycle didn’t help. Surprisingly regular power off fixed it. 2 hours later, came back again. I use WhatsApp and Ring apps a lot. Not sure if they are causing some incompatibility with the new update. Could be some other App too. Very frustrating!

I encountered the same problem;

However, this happens at my office location. The moment I exit my office building, it starts working again. Has anyone else experienced this, and could it be related to the location or proximity to a type of Wi-Fi point/extender or something else? I've tested this a few times, and it does happen again and again.

Very weird.

I’m on 17.1.2 and experiencing ask these exact issues.
