moving shared albums to album or icloud?

I'm trying to create a photobook using photo's which are in a shared Album.

I can't find the shared album in my icloud, only my own Albums.

Plus I can't move them from Shared to my own Albums.


Any idea how I can solve this?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17

To make standard albums from your Shared albums you have to save the photos from the shared albums to Photos and add them to a standard album, see: Add and delete photos and videos in a shared album in Photos on iPhone - Apple Support (BW)



Save photos and videos from a shared album to your Photos library

  1. Open the Photos app  on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Albums, tap the shared album, then tap a photo or video.
  3. Tap , swipe up, then tap Save Image or Save Video.


The saved photos will appear at the bottom of Recents. Select them there and add them to a new album.
