How do you turn on picture frame on a iPad
iPad
No kidding! When not used for other purposes, my iPad doubled as a picture frame on my kitchen counter. It was so easy to get in and out of that feature. Now I have to re arrange my photos since I can't seem to select multiple albums to cycle through.
Hey guys, no use mourning what's already gone. Time to find a replacement app. Of the many I've tried, I like Picmatic the most so that's the one I'd recommend. Really really happy with it as a replacement for picture frame since it has more functionality and choices (layout, filter, animations, albums, timings etc), plus it brightens up my living room.
I just upgraded from the first generation iPad to the iPad Air - and couldn't be more pleased - except for the fact that Picture Frame is no longer available. I used it every day!!
Thanks MaxPower100 for suggesting Picmatic - it's an excellent app - and is a nice substitute to the Picture Frame I loved so much in the first generation iPad.
Over the past year my wife and I have two to three photo streams each that we would enable on my iPad running iOS 6. The picture frame slideshow settings would allow us to pick the specific groups of photo streams that we wanted to be displayed on the picture frame. This would give us one combined picture frame slideshow that would shuffle through photos throughout the several streams.
Humor me for a second while I mention a brief story.
Using the above technique I would use the picture frame to show pictures to my daughter daily and then nightly the picture frame mode would serve nicely as a room filling night light when she would wake up at night. She is over a year old now, and with the help of the picture frame she learned her name several months ago while walking by the iPad on occasion and pointing out pictures of herself and repeating her name.
I mention this story because the process to play a slideshow is now several steps harder and as a parent I'm mush less inclined to use the slideshow because I'm obviously busy tending to my child. Which saddens me because I'll miss those interactions with my daughter.
iOS 6 vs. iOS 7 for comparison below:
iOS 7
1. Having to navigate to the photo app
2. Find an album or stream to play (this must be selected every time in iOS 7 vs. a setting that stores my preferred pictures in iOS 6)
3. Select the "slideshow" text button
4. Select start slideshow
- Limitation no ability to select more than one photo stream.
Vs.
iOS 6
1. Enable lock screen
2. Press picture frame button
- This method includes ability to select multiple photo streams in settings area.
Ideally I'd want something like a picture frame button in the Control Center for iPad's. This button would match the functionality of the lock screen picture frame in iOS 6. Adding this features would also need a return of the matching settings menu picture frame settings.
Something to that effect would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Apple, please bring back the picture frame functionality in the lock screen. It seems iOS 7 no longer lets you use your iPad as a digital picture frame cycling through all photos (more than 12 months worth). This was my favorite feature:(

Please bring back Picture Frame!
Please remember that almost everybody you are addressing here is another user like you. We have no power to bring back features. The few Apple employees here are to entorce the TOU and occasionally provide links to canned troubleshooting pages, not to read suggestions.
You've got to be statisfied with "Apple knows best" - you are allowed to only use the product they graciously permit to you "borrow" in the manner they approve. Picture Frame is apparently "anti-progressive" and had to die.
The Picture Frame feature was dropped for security reasons in iOS 7.
A work around is to create a slide show of your images. Place those images you want for the slide show in an album in the photos apps and run the slide show feature on that album.
While I miss the flower pot "picture frame", there is a workaround using the guided access feature. I walk you through the steps of enabling it to make your slideshow work here on my blog: http://fuccisphotos.com/blog/2014/02/27/how-to-create-a-same-day-ipad-slide-show /
I think it was really odd for them to get rid of that really useful feature. But frankly in the end, the guided access does the job even better for my purposes, as I want it to function just like a digital photo frame, and not let anyone mess with any settings while it is going, just autoplay. But it still a shame that they got rid of the feature. Hope the guided steps help you!

I have just upgraded to iOS7 and I can't see where to enable this feature.
How do we get it back on the lick screen?

That's a good question, I wonder if this feature is even still available.
Sorry but this feature was removed in iOS 7.
Just go into Picture App, mark some pictures and start slideshow show presentation via "Share".
