Share button options not loading

My share button on my iPhone 13 has stopped working. I am using iOS 17.1.2. Every time I tap the share button it loads the options pop up but all options are grayed out. This is happening when trying to share google websites and in sharing from photos.

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now. Sharing seems to come and go without explanation. More often than not if I shut down the phone, then restart, the problem is resolved. Today I also forced it to 'forget' one of my home networks, then shut down and restarted the phone. Sharing is back working. (I'm wondering if a bug in network setup(s) or some sort of cloud drive 'sync function' is locking it up.)
