Photo album sharing not sending invites for shared folders.

People aren't receiving shared photo album invitations. I've resent several times and still nothing.



This issue has been reported for a lot of users in differents timelines and Apple doesn’t have a response.


Based on my experience, the issue affects the iCloud account, because My friends received my invites when I had an iPhone XS Max and iPhone 11 Pro.

However, when I got iPhone 12pro Max, this issue began. I went to the Apple Store and we did many tests and one of them it was change the iCloud account so I put another account and shared albums worked.


Now I buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max, When I turned on my phone for first time and I didn’t login with iCloud account to avoid download my last backup.

Once the set up process finished, I went to configuration and I did login to my iCloud acocunt and the issue persists.


Definitively, there is no a phone issue but with the account that is corrupt at a certain level.


It is probably Apple support will tell that iPhone users should be create a new iCloud account.


Hope this helpful.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Hi, I have the same problem as you.

I also did the test using another Apple ID on the same iPhone 13 pro and iPhone 15 pro and the result is the same.

With my main Apple ID the invitations don't reach anyone, while with a new Apple ID everything works.

It seems absurd to me to have to change Apple ID because Apple doesn't give any possibility to transfer the entire content from one ID to another.
