How do I turn off the music in Photos memories? iOS 15

Very simple option but I cannot for the life of me find an option where it says "none." I believe in previous versions of iOS there was this, but clicking on the 3 horizontal dots does not give me this option.


Thanks for any help/solution in advance!

I hate the idea of not be able to turn off the music in memories. I have my own recorded music with my photos and would love to hear it, not some music over the top!

Please get the non music choice back asap!

How? The search icon in memories music doesn’t allow for an actual search entering letters or words. It just brings up various categories and music tracks and you have to pick one or it defaults to the music Apple chooses. You must not have tried your suggestion, or if there is a way I’m not seeing, please enlighten me with the actual steps (and everyone else searching for a solution).

I think this response was written by some bad ML. You would think the feature would actually observe the music I listen to instead of selecting music that is the complete opposite of anything I ever listen to, ever!


I did find a solution, btw. Turning the volume all the way down does actually work. Horribly, if your ringer is off, that does not work (quite the rude shock when it's late and super quiet at home).

Apple, hi how are you? Well I’m an Apple fan. I do like various fruits, but always love My Apple iPhone and Apple Tech too. Oh,I would really like to say, Supp? My Apple? Would you give us an option to stop the music if there is then all apologies, but it isn’t easy to find or not an option and would be nice to view a silent pre-made slide show and be able to first choose the photos to go in a slideshow & say for sensitivity reasons make it an option or a solution would be to just send silently and then adding music could then be an option, PLEASE?! When a preselected and horribly matched song starts out of the blue, I really don’t like the attack on my heart & mind when at the same time, I see a slideshow of my beautiful dead Wife’s modeling photos from various photo shoots in years past or irl photos & selfies taken or ones she’d sent to me while at the same time being blasted with a loud jazz type song by James Brown, great artist btw, but not with these emotional photos! Or an upbeat yay type song. WoW! I’m sure if people took Live Photos of their EX acting a fool or a selfie of one or both of them taken after a fight, or upbeat music while captures of a very sad, serious or sacred day. Help Us Apple. Love your Apple Fan that had this happen a few minutes ago and definitely not for the 5th time. Thanks, Apple for helping or making this easier to find & select or for sure making the randomized slideshows silent so people can select photos to be included and then an option for music, Afterwards! if any at all is desired. Thanks and Bye My Apple.
