Today Screen Photo Widget stuck 'no content available'

(New iPhone SE 3rd gen, iOS 15.4.1) I see this question has been asked a lot, but no useful answer seems posted. I've had the phone a month, and there are 10 photos in my albums, 4 marked as 'favorites'. I've left the phone on WiFi and power overnight several times, but nothing is getting synced into the 'For You' folder, so the widget stays empty.

I can't find anything in any settings that would interfere. How do I get photos loading into that widget?

Hi, BlueKatKLJ

This feature is automated. You may not have enough photos for it to populate anything in the "For You" section; however that is speculation on our part. Memories and other similar automated albums tend to sort large amounts of photos from a specific date, time frame, or location. With only 10 photos, there may not be enough information for this feature to work.

To get a more definitive answer, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple directly to see if they can look into this with you further. Apple Support

Cheers.

Mom and I got identical phones (well, red & midnight) on our plan, and she has 9 photos, 4 favorites. Hers populated the 2nd day after she saved some pics family had sent in iMessages. I even have some of the same pics she shared with me.

Too few pics is not the issue.
