"for you" album not adding photos

I have the widget on my home screen with "no content available" and to my understanding a photo is supposed to be added every night so long as you leave your phone on and charging all night which I have done for the past several nights and no photos have been added. Its really quite frustrating because I want the widget to be able to display something. Is there any tips to get photos to generate in the for "you album" or something else I need to be doing? iOS 16.3.1 for reference.

Hello rmccor,


You may wish to try double-checking to see if Featured Photos are enabled for the Photos app.


This page can help with that: Manage memories and featured photos in Photos on iPhone


Turn off Memories and Featured Photos
You can turn off the Memories and Featured Photos features in the For You section of the Photos app and the Photos widget. Go to Settings  > Photos, then turn off Show Featured Content.


While the page notes how to turn it off, be sure to have it enabled there. Then try removing and re-adding the widget to see if that's helped.


Cheers.
