When you create a slideshow, it will be automatically saved as a memory.
To change the music or the duration, modify the memory.
But there is no way to create a slideshow without music. You have only the option to find the least annoying or distracting music in the suggested music or in Music, or silence your iPhone, before you play the slideshow.
There is no way to change the speed of a memory either. You can only change the length by adding or removing photos, but the timing is fixed.
