How to edit Featured Photos on Iphone

It seems such a simple oversight by Apple to put a wedge it on your phone which allows you to feature special photos, not what you want but what the great Apple bots think you want.

Its becoming quite normal for Apple lately to underwhelm us all with less than user friendly ideas.

I would love to find a way to be able to remember my dad who passed away last year that wasn’t literally the only photo that appears in this feature. Amazing to realize Apple employees haven’t done anything about this in the 6+ months since they released this feature.

You can remove a photo from featured photos - see here. https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-change-featured-photo-on-iphone/

but I haven’t found how to add one. But as you remove more come up so hopefully ones you like will replace. I had to remove a few to get ones I like.

The unmitigated gall of Appleto impose it's Big Brother will on it's base. The optio to delete but not add. If I can't have input & control over something as person as my photos, eliminate the "Favorites" feature. This smacks of FASCISM on a technical level.

There’s always been a limit to the customization of apple products, not really fascism, don’t need to capitalize it to make a point, I do agree it’s a useless features as with most of the “widgets” compared to an android device, but you can always switch over and have full control

Same problem. Since I’ve owned my iPhone 12 Pro Max, my photo on the default photo widget was large and though I had no choice of what it was, rarely saw the same photo twice (a new one ever hour). This morning the large widget was gone and was instead part of a stack. (With music widget and a few other things.) I deleted the stack and reloaded my photo widget. Now, however, it chooses from only five photos (!). I looked in my photos and see that only five are in my FEATURED PHOTOS. (Granted, I haven’t looked there till today, so don’t know how this folder appeared yesterday.) Hoping more photos are added!

I understand now, sorry.

Those photos are chosen by the system, you can't add to them.

yeah well what if we delete all of them will more ransoms pop up?

Yup. I’m having the same problem also! I’m assuming it’s a bug and will be fixed in the future update(s). But it’s annoying and not working for me also.

Yeah, everyone is able to remove it from feature photo, but no way to add it, that’s the whole point of this post. Not about removing but adding it

I just removed one picture from featured album and the complete featured album folder is gone. How to get that back? Can someone help me to get that folder back please.

Apple, are you retarded? Fix this rn. Seriously.? I apologize for not having a helpful answer to this ridiculousness.

It happened again

I guess my widgets are amazing and i luv it 💕

You have to download “photo widget” and it’ll allow you to choose up to 30 photos
