Screenshot forward menu errors with cannot save image to Photos

When I take a screenshot and hit forward icon it doesn’t show menu for apps to forward or save. I just get an error saying Unable to save image to photos.


I use this function regularly so I need apples help to fix this issue.


Also new photos I take with camera do not save to photos.


I have checked iCloud Photos is on, disabled and enabled it.

I have updated to latest iOS version.

I have restarted iphone

I have checked settings Privacy and security and all looks fine

I have over 50gb free storage on iPhone

iPhone 13

After taking a screenshot, you'll see a share icon (see the image below). However, there is no direct option to "Forward" or "Save to Downloads."


You can tap "Save to Files", which will save the screenshot to the Downloads folder. To use this feature, ensure that iCloud Drive is enabled.
