Photo Widget on iPhone iOS 17.0.2

It depends on if the widget is on featured or album. If it is on features you might want to try and switch it to album mode. If it is already on album mode then you should check and see if you have any albums. If you don’t see one create one and see if it works.

Hey there,

There are two types of Photos Widget (each with different size variations):

A. Featured: It shows the pictures from the "For You" section in Photos Apps on shuffle. It has the Featured Photos and Memories. If you have the "Show Featured Content" option turned off in Settings, then the Widget will appear blank. To turn that option on, follow these steps:

1. Open Settings

2. Open Photos

3. Scroll down to the bottom.

4. You'll see a option of "Show Featured Content" under "MEMORIES & FEATURED PHOTOS". Toggle it on.

Now, it should work.

B. Album: You can choose a particular Album from Photos to display on shuffle in the widget. If the chosen Album is empty, then the widget will appear blank. Add some photos to that Album or choose another one.

Have a good day!
