Unable to join photos shared library

After beta testing iOS 16, I finally got my family members on the official release. However they cannot join the photos library as "they have no permission to do so or the owner stopped sharing it". Which makes no sense as I just sent out invitations. So how to add them? This is so overcomplicated...

Thanks for any hints

I'm trying to share my photo library, but when people get the invitation, it then says I have stopped sharing, or they don't have permission? Any ideas?

Help to set up my shared library I cannot set up the shared photo library. I’m getting several messages, on my iPhone I’m getting the following message “the shared library cannot be set up” and cannot move any further. On my iPad I’m able to set it up but when I send the invitation to my family members they cannot access it and they’re getting the following message “the library is not shared anymore or you don’t have permissions to access it”. Is anyone experiencing this problem?

Why does when a family member take a picture it does not go to family sharing account? family sharing is set up but when family member takes a photo it does not automatically load to family photo. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I found the answer. We need to wait for iOS 16.1:

Same problem, and it seems like they delayed that feature...

Is that feature be available on 16.1? Anyone?

Did you find a solution to this? I’m having the same problem and we’re both running iOS 16. I was previously using beta too.
