My Mrs set up a shared photo folder and uploaded some pics. She invited a few people to join including me. We all accepted.... I even added some pics of my own.
Trouble is I am the only one who cannot see all the pics. I can only see those I have added from my own phone.
Others cannot see the pics I uploaded either. On my Mrs phone, it also says I am still pending acceptance, even though I have accepted and it shows on my phone I am a member. I cannot see the other members either.

Any ideas what is wrong here?

Restart your device for one. Is it an iphone?

Yep. Will do that bit to add confusion I got her to unsubscribe me.
Then she reinvited me.
When I clicked accept, I got a message that said this album is no longer shared. And still have no pics to view!

Puzzled. Is there a way of forcing the folder to update? I have done the usual pull down and release!

I don't use this so copying and pasting I would turn photo sharing off and on again on your phone:


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Double-click the Home button to see your open apps. Find Photos, then swipe up on the app's preview to close it.
Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. In iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Turn off iCloud Photo Sharing.
Tap OK. The photos will automatically be added again when you turn this setting back on.
Press the Home button. Wait about a minute.
Tap Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos. In iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Turn on iCloud Photo Sharing.
Press the Home button.
Open Photos and tap the Shared tab.
Tap the name of the shared album.
Check the comments on the photo or video.




Then get her to do this on her phone:

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Tap Photos.
Tap the Shared tab > Sharing.
Tap a shared album, then go to the People tab.
Select the person's name in the list of subscribers.
Tap Resend Invitation.
If you previously removed this person from the list of subscribers, tap Invite People, enter their email address, then tap Add.

Thank you. It seems to have worked on the latest folder. Will do the others later!
