I am unable to share any of the memories created by apple. The three dots in the corner don’t work when pressed nor does the advice from apple of clicking on the video/photos while it is playing. no option to share appears anywhere. Using iphone 16 ios 18.5

Original Title: Unable to share Apple memories
The Share option will appear in the three dots menu, when I do the following:
But nearly all of the created memory movies will give a warning when trying to share them, that sharing is not possible because the sound track is using a protected song. Before we can share the memory video we have to replace the background music by a song that is not protected by digital rights.

Seems to be a bug to me. If I am "playing" the memory movie and even if I have changed the music to a shareable soundtrack the ellipses menu is non functional. However a work around that seems to have worked for me is to slide the slider at the bottom from "movie" to "photo", tap on the ellipses (but don't choose anything), then move the slider back to "movie". Then the ellipses menu becomes functional.
When I tried, Richard, I had to pause the movie, before the three dots became responsive and the share button has been shown. And one more advantage, the background music will be silenced.
I don't do the Memories thing, much, and I see the same thing that you see when I try to hit the More (•••) button-- it just goes on with the little slide show, ignoring me completely. But, after messing with it for awhile, I found that if I scroll up during the movie, it shows the individual pictures, and the (•••) button works then.
When I choose Share and AirDrop, I don't get the movie, but rather individual pictures. I don't see Save Movie anywhere. Hmm.
The update to 18.6 is supposed to have added a bugfix for the sharing of memory movies. Have you already installed the update? Can you share your memory movies now?
Have you installed the iOS 18.6 update?
The "Film" button might be called "Movie" when using US English instead of UK English.
While a Memory is playing and tap the display, I am seeing two tabs at the bottom, one labelled "Photos" and the second one "Film".
This is the correct answer! However,
there is no (that I can see) indication if the sound track is protected. The original was picked by the photos app- I randomly selected another and the "share" icon appeared!
You should send suggestions for Apple here:
Same issue here. All memories are locked and unsharable. I tried creating a new memory and that is locked as well. It does not give you the menu option of shareable music either it just shows all music as available. iPhone 15 ProMax iOS 18.5

It's good to read the previous responses. At this point, probably the most relevant one is: You should send suggestions for Apple here:
Same issue here with iPhonePro 16 Max. Would be nice to get some solution for this.
Wow-- it's terribly inconsistent for me. (And that music never seems to stop!) Even after a forced re-start. I'm running 18.5
same issue here this ios update f..kd up my phone completely, unable to share memories as 3 dots on the corner is not working
I tried this, paused the movie and managed to open the three little dots, however it only gave me the option to share the photos, not the movie. Help!
When you say the “film” option, where is that. Theres nothing I can tap on the screen at all. What is the “film” button?
