Sharing album with a friendly name deletes it after one use

The bug

When sharing a album using a friendly name, it deletes the album after the first one someone accesses it. In my case tried it 2 times with the same result. The album was created, photos added, and after it was accessed the first time, not only is the sharing gone, but so is the Album itself.

The expiry was set to Never

This sounds very odd, can you share a screen recording?

@bahree please share a screen recording. Otherwise we'll just have to close this issue
