Randomized slideshow of pictures on my iPhone with iOS 16?

Hi guys

Just found out that I was not able to create a shuffle/randomized slideshow of pictures on my iPhone with iOS 16.

Thought it was such a simple thing.

Is there a way to do this?


iPhone SE (3rd generation)

Thanks léonie

But isn’t it strange that shuffling photos has been removed as an option?

it is such a small thing and very nice when creating a photo slideshow.

could be it has been removed by a mistake?

Hope Apple could get notice of this thread and add it again. It is like very few lines of code.

Photos iOS can no longer shuffle the slides randomly for a slideshow - it used to be possible as described here: https://www.isunshare.com/iphone-ipad/shuffle-photos-in-slideshow-on-iphone-ipad.html.

Now we have to find a third-party app that can do it. I have no idea what will work on an iPhone.


I have not tested this one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shuffle-photos/id1443909108, but search for similar tools.

Hello Je2485,


You can use these steps to create a slideshow in the Photos app:


1. Tap Library, then view photos by All Photos or Days.
2. Tap Select.
3. Tap each photo you want to include in the slideshow, then tap the More button.
4. Tap Slideshow from the list of options.
5. To change the slideshow theme, music, and more, tap the screen while the slideshow plays, then tap Options.

Play videos and slideshows in the Photos app on iPhone


Cheers!
