iPhone 17 Pro No option to share photos.

Hi, what app are you referring to specifically that you can’t share photos from? Are your familiar with the Share Sheet icon? It’s a box/square with an upward point arrow. Generally, you tap the item to share and then tap the share Sheet and select the app you want to share/send the photo to.

"and there is no option in settings to share photos that you take to drive, FB, IG, TikTok, etc."

We can only share directly to social media platforms, like TikTok, if these platforms offer a a safe photo sharing extension. When extensions are available, we can install them from the AppStore and they will appear in the "Add" menu, when we try to share a photo. As long as a platform does not provide such extensions for the iPhone, we can only share the photos by accessing the photos library from the website and not share directly from Photos.
