Edit & share photos disabled

Hi,


I have an issue not being able to share photos taken with my iPhone 8.

I have found the exact issue here:

iOS 11: Why can't I edit or share photos just taken?

It has however been marked as "solved" which it is clearly not, reading through the comments.

I am facing the same issue, some pictures I can not share, and some I can - I do not understand why it is disabled for some.


I assume that Apple will not notice it if the issue is not open, so I open this one to find a solution.


If anyone has any input or experience the same, please add to this thread.


Thanks

Alex

I noticed this behavior only occurs with photos taken while iPhone is locked and using camera shortcut/swipe. So all other photos taken while unlocked are able to be edited and shared. Hope Apple release a fix to unlock these photos... Shortcut is as its name describe it to reduce steps having the camera app handy and reachable with a single swipe... But this shortcut becomes to nonsense if these files are not able to be shared or edited for any other purposes through photo/camera roll app.
