iOS 17 iCloud Family sharing not working This seems impossible to set up here w/ iOS 17.1.1 on iPhone 14 Pro & iPhone 13 (wife's phone). And yes I am aware of the instructions, have career ICT knowledge etc. I'm suspecting that the instructions leave out an important requirement: That the family /receiving phone needs to also have iCloud photos turned on [?] Otherwise there is nothing to indicate on my wife's phone that see can see my Family iCloud photos library. At setup I am loath to therefore interfere with her phone and where to enable a shared iCloud+ or her, this deletes her local photos library & then uploads & syncs to cloud ... The literature would have it that this is not necessary and that she should be able to see my Family libary without any such alterrations to her phone; & that her local library should remain local, but she can see my iCloud + photos. However this does not seem to be the case. Can anyone advise?

Irrelevant. You can family share with members as long as they are in a country where the iPhone is supported.
