I can’t see pictures others are putting in the shared album

I can’t see pictures in my shared album that others are posting. This has been an issue for over a year. There's several reddit posts with hundreds of users experiencing the same issue.

I restarted my iphone and the images are still not there. My wife added the photos to the shared album on her iphone and sent me a screenshot that shows the images are in that shared album on her phone. This has happened to me multiple times with different people trying to add photos to my shared albums, I never see them, but they are there for them on their phone.

I have 30+ shared albums, none of which are shown on my icloud. It says my shared library is empty. I can see the shared albums on my macbooks (I have 3), but even there, the photos my wife added are not in the shared album on my end.

My iphone is up to date with the latest OS, as is my wife's phone, and my macbooks. And again, this issue has been present for over a year, since ios15.

Please note that I have researched this issue for months and have tried every solution under the sun. This is definitely a bug within the software and needs to be addressed. Thank you.
