Hello,
Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!
You can save image and then use Xamarin.Essentials Share like the following code

string filePath = model.PhotoPath;//the path you saved  
string fileType = "image/jpeg";  
ShareFile fileToShare = new ShareFile(filePath, fileMimeType);  
ShareFileRequest shareRequest = new ShareFileRequest(fileToShare);  
await Share.RequestAsync(shareRequest);  

For more information you can refer to:
https://github.com/xamarin/Essentials/issues/424
