Facebook question: when you share a photo to your news feed does it not show up on your timeline?

Asked by JLeslie (65412) December 3rd, 2018 from iPhone

I don’t understand why if I am sharing someone else’s photo that I can’t see it on my profile page and timeline.

I just shared a group of photos and wanted to go to them and write something, and I can’t find them. This has happened before. Usually, eventually, someone likes or comments on the photo and I get a notification and can get back to them.
