I have just updated to iOS 10.0.2 on my 4th Gen iPad and I have successfully downloaded my iCloud Photo Library to the iPad (~44,500 photos), however I cannot see the Memories button in Photo. How do I enable this? NB I have also done a full DFU and set up as new with the same results.
When you launch Photos, you should see three icons on the bottom of the screen. The middle one is Memories. What happens when you tap on it?
Be aware that analyzing a library of your size will take days. You should be leaving your iPad locked, powered and connected to Wi-Fi overnight.
I would like to remove memories tab from my photos app. I can't use photos because this freaking memories tab. Now it's a big mess in the Photo app. I want the ability to remove this memories tab. I have Movies app and I don't need this Memories tab in my Photos.
Thanks for the reply Rysz but I only have 'Photos', 'Shared' and 'Albums' buttons. There is no 'Memories' button.
I have left my iPad on power, connected to WiFi, Photos app open but iPad locked overnight but no difference. I also haven't seen any prompts for Face Recognition either and know that Memories and Faces may be related. If so, how do I (re-)start Face Recognition?
I have exact same issue as you do Tim on my 4th Generation iPad. All my other devices (iPhone 6 and iPad Air) are working correctly, showing Memory Tab.
The iPad User guide says: http://help.apple.com/ipad/10/#/iPad99e41c18
Memories isn’t available on iPad (4th generation).
So there is probably no way that you could enable Memories on your iPad, sorry.
Thanks Leonie. That limitation was buried pretty deep but it answers my question.
You're welcome. It is a pity, but maybe the processing power of the 4th generation iPad is not enough for the memory movies. My iPad 3rd generation cannot even be upgraded to iOS 10.
Thanks Leonie for link referencing answer and Tim for posting in 1st place. Maddening with very little information out there. The memories works rather well, and one of the few things I'm liking on the IOS 10.0.2 upgrade.

You're welcome 🙂 I am impressed by the categories. The automatic classification of the photos into categories is working rather well, only a few false positives.
You are lucky man. 🙂
Enable Photo Memories on iPad
