Lost the option to share photo to a Shared Album in iOS13

After updating to iOS13, I can no longer share a photo to a Shared Album.


Sharing options are now shown for multiple people from my contact list and a handful of apps.


Missing from the list of apps, however, is the most obvious photo sharing app - Photos itself.


I've disabled and re-enabled iCloud options for Photos, no joy.


Scrolling to the right in the list of apps at the bottom of the sharing screen does reveal a feature to add apps... but Photos is not one of them.


I have use(d) this feature multiple times daily for years, so it's absence is a real annoyance!


Attached: sample shot of where sharing icon used to be (random screen grab from Apple support website) and current screen (no Photos sharing icon available).

Instead of scrolling right among the list of app, instead, scroll down to see the action list.


Select a photo.

Tap the icon to bring up the share sheet.

Scroll to the bottom of the sheet.

Tap “Edit Actions”

Scroll through the list of available actions, find Add to Shared Album and tap the Green circle with a + next to it.

Tap done.
