Can’t link family and friends photo album

I'm having the same issue as OP. I used to be able to tap "Select family & friends" under the Photo Frame options on my Google Nest Hub (Google Home app on ios 17), but now it jumps to the Google Photos app, jumps back to the Google Home app, and says "Can't create album. Sign in to the Google Photos app as [redacted] then try again". This used to let me select which family and friends I wanted to show.
