On my iPad Pro running iPadOS 18.4.1, the picture that Apple chose as the album picture still appears in the gaps between the photos when I scroll through the album. On my wife's iPad Air 2 running iOS 18.4.1 the spaces between the photos are opaque, so the album theme picture doesn't show through. How can I achieve this effect on my iPad Pro?

One solution is to put a blank, black photo in every album and make it the key photo for the album.
The downside to the above is you'll lose identifying the contents of the album by the key photo and will have to rely on the title of the album.
There is an Accessibility option to Reduce Transparency, so you could try that. My M4 iPad running 18.4.1 does not show anything but white (or black in dark mode) between pictures in an album
so I can't see if that helps in your case. You can see that I have a "theme picture" at the top of mine.
Maybe a screenshot of your situation would help…
"Reduce Transparency" was already turned on. I tried to insert a screenshot, but this website says it's too big. Since Apple automatically reduces images to mail them, I would have expectted the same here. In the upper half of the screen, the theme picture shows through in the gaps between the thumbnails. I would like the gaps to be filled with an opaque color (black or white) as they are in the lower half.
This is so weird! Have you tried a forced restart of the iPad?
This is different from a simple Power Off.
For me, the logo appears way after the Power Off notice.
Thanks, but I have lots of albums and this sounds like too much work.
How do I hide the album picture between photos on iPad Pro?
