Wallpaper photo shuffle

I was attempting to create a wallpaper photo shuffle but when I choose the people to include my daughter is not an option.


If I open my photo she is listed as a favorite but when I go to set up shuffle she is not an option.


Is it possible I just have too many photos of her since she’s my oldest?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Hey there kendrazuercher,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


While there doesn't appear to be a limit to the number of photos, have you ensured that you added your daughter to the People album as shown in this link here: Use the People album in Photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Add someone to the People album
1. Open a photo of the person that you want to add.
2. Tap the Info button , then tap the face of the person with a question mark.
3. Tap Tag With Name and type the person's name or tap the name if it shows up.
4. Tap Next, then tap Done.

Put a name to a face
Photos suggests names from your Contacts, but you can manually add a name to someone that's already in your People album: Here's how:
1. Open the People album, then tap the thumbnail of the person that you want to name.
2. Tap Add Name at the top of the screen.
3. Type the person's name or select their name if it shows up.
4. Tap Next, then tap Done.


If so, then the next best option would be to reach out to Apple Support directly for additional help at this link here: Get Support - Apple


Best regards.

Hey there kendrazuercher,


Since that album isn't showing up like it should within the wallpaper creation tool, at least in the shuffle section, it would probably be best to Get Support directly from Apple moving forward, as there may be some specific steps they could have for you to take. Something to consider is if you want to choose the option to manually add photos to the wallpaper, you should be able to search for the name of the individual who isn't showing up and locate their photos that way, even if their People album doesn't populate normally.


Take care.
