I have tried multiple times to setup a wallpaper option that shuffles photos between my 2 children, but only 1 child is available when I go to select people. Teh only options are one child, my spouse and 3 other (seemingly random) people. Why aren't the same people available in Photos available in the Wallpaper shuffle setup? Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Just wanted to add a little to the steps I mentioned above as I have found some people still experienced issued where the problem came back moments after.
What seems to be the complete fix/solution is:
When trying this I only get an option for cities and nature. I use to have the people option but now it is gone since the last update 17.2 I believe. Is there a setting to get this back?
Yep I did that. The prompt even warned that it would reset the people album which it only does when you remove everyone. That’s not the fix.
I managed to get my own to appear, but when I selected only myself, there were no photos of me in the shuffle preview. After a couple of days, only my two kids’ photos were showing up again.
Amazing there is still NOTHING in regards to an update on this. The issue must not be very widespread.
This is seriously so frustrating! I am able to select 2 of my children but my third child isn’t even an option! Yet I have random friends I am allowed to use with shuffle! Please fix this issue!!
After several years and no real fix by Apple, with some limited fixes posted here -- does anyone know if Apple truly gets this information and ever replies with an update on fixes to bugs? it is such a great feature and doubt it works for the Apple programmers themselves so why won't they provide fix? I can only see some of my "people" and even then it only cycles through about the same 8 photos. So frustrating.
THIS IS THE SOLUTION! Completely nonintuitive, of course. But it works. Thanks so much, Abstulo!
