ipados 18 has slideshow disappeared?

One of the things I LOVE about my iPad is using it as a "photo frame" and use the "Slideshow" feature, it now seems to be gone and in it's place is "Pictures/Movie", when you choose Movie, which I believe is their replacement for Slideshow, it gives you two speeds - Short and Medium which translates to Fast and Very Fast. Am I missing something and Slideshow is still there? If this is thier new answer for Slideshow it's not done well at all... not what I would expect from Apple at least. Does anyone know how to control the speed of the Movie (which I guess replaced Slideshow)? Any help is very much appreciated

iPad Air (5th generation)

I placed my photos into Keynote slides and was able to control speed, transitions, etc the way I wanted there. Create a presentation, tap the down arrow next to the presentation name, then Presentation Options, Presentation Type. Not ideal, but it’s one work-around.

HOPELESS!!!

I had my slideshow all worked out to my set speed (SLOW) for a production I was doing. When my ipad updated last week, Slideshow is missing the editing functions!! Can't pick & choose transitions & speed...Show now on hold for me!!


Apple: Please show me one satisfied user, happy with this NEW Slideshow. Or, check out all these comments and PLEASE BRING BACK THE OTHER VERSION!!!!!!!!

After my husband passed away I spent many hours over several weeks creating a memorial slideshow of photos spanning many years of happy memories to which I added my own music that meant something special to us both. The iOS 18 update has destroyed those cherished memories and I can’t even recreate it. I am devastated. The new app is useless. Please change it back Apple. The functionality on the updated version is zero.

So glad I stumbled on this thread. I’ve been struggling to figure out how to play slideshows after “upgrading’ to ios18. Memories is excruciating and at least I’m glad to know I’m not alone! It’s shocking how the engineers at Apple would just eliminate the simple slideshow feature many of us have been using for years. I tried using another app which was simple but then it exports a video so not very convenient. Does anyone know of an extension or another solution that would do the job easily?
