- The “Album” widget has a setting to show a random photo only from the most recent `n` photos in the album, where `n` is the number you choose.
If you have a widget that cycles between photos and you want to force it to skip to the next photo, long-press the widget, select “Edit Widget”, and then close the edit view.
First, decide whether you want to select the individual photos to show (1) or just choose an existing album from your photo library (2).
Then add the “Photo Widget” widget with the “Photos” type and edit the widget to pick the photos to show.
Create as many photo widgets as you like with one or more photos per widget.
- Widgets showing photos from an album in your photo library (slideshow).
You can also show photos from an album in your photo library.
Add the “Photo Widget” widget with the “Album” type and edit it to choose the album.
This may cause you to see a "This widget requires access to your photo library." even though you granted access.
- Tapping a widget can either show a larger preview of the photo, open a URL, or run a shortcut.
NOTE: There's unfortunately a bug in iOS where it doesn't correctly give the widget access to the photo library.
If you choose more than one photo, it will change photos on a time interval (which can be customized in the settings).
If you use the “Album” widget, there’s no limit to the number of photos.
- Import photos from the photo library or the file system.
