No Markup option in iPad Pro IOS Photos app

I can’t find a Mark up option (to use my Apple Pencil) in the Photos app on my iPad Pro, though I have it on the Google Photos app and on my iPhone 17 Pro Photos app. I’ve tried shutting down and Restart but it makes no difference.

Both devices are updated to IOS 26.1

Any suggestions to resolve this issue will be appreciated.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26

In iPadOS 26.0.1, tap the "3 lines icon", to the left of the ⓘ icon in the upper right toolbar, then tap the markup icon in the upper right.
