Problems sharing photos on Facebook

After posting hundred of photos, both edited and not, to Facebook over the years, I am suddenly (past few weeks) unable to share many of the photos I want to post. I believe most of those have been edited in some way, or perhaps were "live" photos. None are large files. For those photos, I get a message that the photo is unable to be downloaded. The only way I can get the photo to share is to take a screen shot of it, save it, and then post the screen shot. This makes no sense to me, and is a very recent issue. Not sure if it an IOS update problem or what?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.5

Hey Debru4,


To start, are you attempting to share on Facebook via an iPhone or a Mac? If it's an iPhone, iCloud Photos is being used, and optimized photos is enabled, you may have to download the high resolution version in order to use it through Facebook, etc.


To test, try a different Wi-Fi network to ensure it isn't network related.


If it's a different issue, providing more details may help you get more answers.


Take care.
