How to fix apple iphone issue unable to share photos:

Fix 1 :  Go to iCloud-> and make sure Photo Library enabled and Optimize iPhone Storage is checked. Log out of iCloud then log in back. At first, you may feel that all your cloud pictures/albums were removed from the phone. But it may take a few minutes for everything to download again. I have over 2k photos and 15+ albums so it took a bit for it all to come back. After it try to do the share again, it is possible that you still see same error similar to original issue but a few minutes later it may work for you.

2-"Accessibility"
3- "reduced mention"
