Missing slideshow controls on my iPad Air Photos app

Re: Missing slideshow controls on my iPad Air Photos app

Seems the "memory movies" in the Photos app can be edited in similar ways to the slideshows of old .

Personalize your memories in Photos on iPad - Apple Support

Eg: says:

" In the Photos app, you can edit your memory movies to make them even more personal. Try out Memory mixes, which let you apply different songs with a matching photographic look. You can also choose new songs, edit the title of a memory, change the length, and add, reorder, or remove photos. "

Alternatively: Apple's iMovie app is free to download.

You can turn your videos and photos into movies, ( you can just use still photos if you want ):

There are (non-Apple) tutorials available on YouTube, for a glimpse of what's possible.

or See: iMovie User Guide for iPad - Apple Support (Click the "Table of Contents" to brows what's possible)

All the best :-)

I can't speak to the former, but the answer to the latter question is that you have no control over slideshow creation in Photos in iPadOS or iOS. ( The Mac version gives lots of options.)

As far as I can see, your only choice is to use a 3rd part app. There are a number of them in the App store, and they generally cost money, though there may be a free trial period. If you find one you like, let us know.

It's worthwhile to let Apple know what you need:

Thank you for joining the discussion, léonie. 👍 That is an excellent solution.

Thanks, brbo. I particularly need Keynote, when I need to add sound effects and text annotations.
