I had created a great slideshow of a recent trip, then I upgraded to ios18. Now I can’t display the photos as I want, can’t change the playback speed or add my own music from itunes. This is HORRIBLE!

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
That is exactly the issue I’m having. I did a wonderful slideshow presentation of my grandson and future bride to play at the rehearsal dinner. I had the slides perfectly in order. I had some depicting Bible verses. And I had the music perfectly selected for the slideshow. When I went to play it, it cropped whatever ones it wanted to crop it stacked whatever ones that wanted to stack and my music was no longer even accessible. Whoever designed this had a serious deficit and understanding the needs of the consumer. If they are relying on AI to decide what I want to show and when and how I am more than willing to opt out.

I am using iPad OS18. The photos are in an album of their own as well as saved as a memory slideshow. Before I upgraded to OS18 I was able to display the photos in a magazine style…one full photo at a time. I was also able to change the speed of the slides by using the slider from “rabbit to turtle”, and add my own music from my iTunes library. Now with the update my photos are grouped/cropped automatically, it plays too fast and I can’t use my iTunes library. The links you provided were for the iPhone not iPad.
I have the same problem and am furious!!!!! If you find a solution let me know!!!!
Apple Tech is aware of it now. I have reported it directly to them, next release they should fix it back. I like to choose my own speed and my own music. You could mirror image in the meantime p.
Same here - I have upgraded to iPadOS 18.1 and all the setting options are gone:
Typical case of not thoroughly tested software update, or trying to make things fancy without understanding typical use cases first, I assume.
I found a solution to this problem. I sold my iPad Pro 11 M2 on Ebay for $650. Then I purchased a Lenovo Duet 3 on sale direct from Lenovo for $180. The Duet 3 has a touchscreen, kickstand, full magnetic keyboard with trackpad, two USB-c ports, digital pen included, and 100GB of Google Drive included. Oh, and the Google Photos slideshow features actually works.
I have the same issue slide ever since I upgraded to iOS 18 I have been having the same issue watching a slideshow where you can control the speed on your TV is not possible. The image will be displayed on the TV but no slideshow. The slideshow is going through either my iPad or my iPhone. I have been on the phone with Apple Tech this morning. Spent half an hour with one and another 40 minutes with another one and they couldn’t figure out so it must be a bug hopefully the next update they will fix it most likely they won’t tell us what they fixed. I think somebody missed that point. My workaround hand it up, loading the images on a computer, and then I mirrored the screen to the TV with the code that they gave me from my TV screen.
Difficult to customize? It seems like the “geniuses” at apple feel “their” creation of a slideshow is so much better than their users that they removed/hid the options. Hey Apple! Stop redesigning apps and leaving out the options that are in the app already.
Creating a slideshow and making it a memory is ridiculous. Put memories as an option if you want that included. But don’t limit users because “YOU” think it’s better for users. IT’S NOT!!!
I’ve never been more frustrated with Apple and I’ve been using Apple products from the beginning.
You can't export a slide show from the Photos App, please clarify your answer. the original discussion on playback speed as well as being able to play a slide show without cropping images. The point is since iOS 18, there were some drastic changes to Photos app, you can't Air Play like before, there is music in the background, can't control the speed. Hoping some Tech from Apple reads this, they didn't even fix it in 18.2?
I used my old iPad mini as a slideshow display until its OS no longer supported iCloud Photos. I bought a new iPad for this primary purpose, and now a few months later it whips through slideshows so fast we can’t enjoy them. PLEASE return the speed and formatting options from the previous versions.
It is now December, and no fix for this problem? This is so frustrating and careless. Why rush an update until you know all the bugs are worked out?
Yes, I am using an Ipad, and yes the slideshow was saved as a memory. I was attempting to edit the memory to have the photos display as I wanted, not cropped, not stacked and I want to slow down the presentation. I also wanted to add my own music from my iTunes library as I was able to do previously.
I got same problem on both iPad iOS 18 and iPhone iOS 18, when select pictures and video to play as slide show the features to adjust times speed and theme are gone, can’t adjust anything and its play all selected pictures and video too fast.
would you please help to return the old feature back?
I too am SO disappointed with Apple. As a fan of the Apple ecosystem, I just learned that the HOURS I spent cropping, curating and timing multiple slideshows with appropriate music, have all been usurped by DUMB AI that completely degraded my slideshows to something that just doesn't work. Why, why, why didn't Apple inform us prior to the misnamed "upgrade" to 18.2???
This is crazy stupid!! If things are not broken, don’t change it!
used to be so easy to change the speed and music, now the options are gone !!
this sucks
Apple please fix it !!!
Can’t change the playback speed or display pictures from Photo app post update
