I’m having trouble trying to recover shared old photos on my imessages. I tried looking in “shared with you” but they still don’t pop up. I tried to reset my network still there’s a blue question mark on someone’s shared photos. But I can see all of my shared photos to them on imessages.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Hi zlmnl,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To view photos shared with you, you'll want to follow the steps below:
View photos and videos shared with you on iPhone
When someone shares photos and videos with you using the Messages app, you can easily find them in the Shared with You section in the Photos app. (Automatic Sharing and Photos must be turned on in Settings
> Messages > Shared with You, and your friend must be in your contacts.)
1. Tap For You, then scroll down to Shared with You.
2. Do any of the following:
* Tap a photo to view it in full screen, save it to your library, share it, or delete it.
* Tap See All to view all photos shared with you.
* Tap the name of the person who shared the photo, then reply to them using the Messages app.
You can also tap Library, then tap All Photos to see photos and videos shared with you in Messages. These photos and videos have a chat bubble in the bottom-left corner of the thumbnail. Tap the thumbnail to share the photo or video, save it to your library, or delete it. To hide photos and videos shared with you in Messages, tap, then tap Your Photos Only.
Note: Photos and videos you don’t save from a Messages conversation are deleted in Shared with You and your library if the conversation in Messages is deleted.
To turn off Shared with You, go to Settings > Messages > Shared with You, then turn off Photos (green is on).
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
