unable to share there was an error while preparing to share I have an iPhone XR 64GB currently I have 39 GB of free space iOS 13.5 iClooud serice 200 GB (198 GB of free space) I have less than 100 pictures in my cameral roll. Half of those pictures are wallpapers for my iPhone, whenever I want a new wallpaper I select one click share set as wallpaper and it used to work like a charm. But starting today I've been unable to do it as every single time I select a photo and want to use it as wallpaper I get a pop up message that says: unable to share there was an error while preparing to share I search on Google and I have tried multiple "solutions" turning off and on iCloud photos, deactivating reduce motion, reset network, rebooting the devicde, turning it off and on, everything. But nothing works and I keep getting the message again and again. Even if I try choosing a photo and sending through whatsapp, or Airdrop, or any other messaging app I get the same message. This is really frustrating, is any REAL solution for this? I don't want to factory reset my device as I don't want to be forced to upgrade to 13.5.1 and I don't want to even try iOS 14 yet. Please share a solution with me. I will be forever grateful.
