iOS photo shuffle won’t save edits

I set up the photo shuffle and I have it set to change when the screen is tapped. The shuffle feature works well.


Some photos I chose for the shuffle are ‘too big’ so when they show up I can’t see the whole photo. I hold down my finger in the screen and select ‘customize’, then select the photo. I can zoom in to the photo, set it up exactly like I want it, move the photo around on the screen, etc. I get it exactly like I want and press ‘done’. It saves my setting and everything is fine. I go back to the Lock Screen and it looks exactly like I want it


The problem: when the photo pops up again on the shuffle, Al the things I changed are gone and the photo looks exactly like it did before I fixed it. I’ve done this several

times on the same photo, and several times on many different photos, so it’s not an issue with the photo itself.


I’ve tried turning the phone off and back on again to no avail. I have not rest the phone because I really don’t want to have to set my whole phone up again…


can anyone help me? The photo shuffle feature is so cool, but it’s useless if I can’t get it to save the changes I make.


thanks!

Hello Chelseaabcdefg,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's disable photo shuffle and set it up again:


"Rotate multiple photos as your Lock Screen wallpaper

  1. In the Settings app, tap Wallpaper.
  2. Tap Add New Wallpaper.
  3. Select Photo Shuffle from the top row of options.
  4. On the Photo Shuffle screen, set a frequency (On Tap, On Lock, Hourly, or Daily). Then choose a set of photos that will shuffle as you use your iPhone throughout the day.The frequency options for Photo Shuffle when you set up multiple photos to rotate as your Lock Screen on iPhone.
  5. Tap Done."

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? What is your exact iOS version? Where are the photos originally from? Are you able to test with another set of photos to see if the same thing happens?


Cheers!
