Hey there personalisedlockscreen,


From the details you shared, we aren't sure what's happening exactly with the Photo Shuffle option regarding your son's photos, but we'd like to confirm more details to better understand what's happening. Let's also rule out some general possible causes:


  1. You mentioned you're able to use the Photo Shuffle option for your iPhone wallpaper, but it doesn't 'recognize' your son's photos. What exactly did you mean by this? The more details you provide us, the better we'll understand the issue.
  2. Has this always been the case with the Photo Shuffle option with your son's photos, or did this start recently?
  3. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  4. We see you have iOS 16 installed, but the latest version is iOS 16.2. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!

Hi Bruno,


Thanks for the reply!


Yes I’ve upgraded to the latest iOS and I noticed that on the summary it said improvements to the lock screen but I’m still experiencing the same problem.


So to clarify, when on the lock-screen options I want the ‘photo shuffle’, I then choose customise and the tap the folder option on the bottom left, then I choose gallery option (people, nature, city). When choosing people it gives me a number of choices of my family or friends but my son doesn’t come up! (See photos).


I can find him when looking through photos manually but would then have to manually add his photos which isn’t practical.


Any ideas?
