How to Change Your iOS 14 Photo Widget Pictures

Apple's ‌Photos‌ widget allows users to have a rotating photo from their library displayed with no additional effort required. However, if you only want to display a fixed photo, or rotate through a selection of specific photos, you will need to use a third-party app.

Apple really thought that my guy friend in a maid costume was more important than the rest of the photos I have

[@scorpialover7795]

im very concerned on why you have a photo like that in your camera roll

[@littlemissarij]

hahahahaha

[@eli-mc1bq]

LMAOOOO 😭😭

[@BigNix83]

Lol right 😂😂😂

[@2nd-place]

I just want it to use a specific shared album only. Why is that so much to ask, Apple?

[@pietrusso]

Apple keeps showing me photos of the car accident that killed my dad so I had to remove this widget.

Jesus Christ...

[@Valentine535]

I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺

[@fitnessence]

@@soulsocks3054 why are you calling Jesus for ?

[@Annie-uk5fn]

But why did you take photos about your dead dad man

[@gungun.-.]

Aw man sorry for ur loss 😞

[@gregg5958]

How ridiculous is it that yet again we have to rely on 3rd party apps to do what Apple should have done in the first place? You would think only one person was working on software out of a garage still with the obvious details they miss over and over. It’s so annoying.

[@N3K0553]

That's why android is better

[@gregg5958]

@@N3K0553 Been there done that, didn’t like it. Much happier with iPhones, even if there are some issues still. But by and large Apple has been pretty good about addressing my issues and making the platform more customizable even if it takes them forever. I also like the ecosystem as a whole better. The Apple TV for instance is a way smoother experience than the clunky Android/Google TV experience. And Google really has nothing to compare to a full Mac computer.

[@Kaylee-_-blehh]

@@N3K0553just admit you’re poor and move on 😂

[@fmsantoscar]

I quite like to see random photos, sometimes it shows me photos I had completely forgot about.

[@2nd-place]

It keeps showing me photos of my own stupid face, and I swear I don’t take many photos of myself. Most of them are really old photos from when my wife and I were just dating and we would send goofy photos back and forth.

When Apple decides to allow Gifs as widgets

[@daifordaiki]

There was a widget ad and I though it was the actual video 💀✋🏼

[@brooktemple4979]

Puhhhlease cuz me too 🥲🤡

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Typical apple move 🤦‍♂️
All they had to do was let you choose an album to display. It’s so obvious. Instead they choose for you at random.
Apple’s like,
“You don’t wanna see those pictures of your family or your pets. No! How about this screenshot you took of a pair of shorts you were thinking about buying? How bout that?! 😀 How about this photo of John Lennon you saved from a google search in 2018. Remember that one?!”

[@wolfiexox7156]

I’ve tried using outside apps but my phone doesn’t show them as an option when I try to add widgets. It’s very frustrating.

[@mecurybigmac7452]

Same have u found out yet

[@kaysunshine3335]

I’m having that same problem and I don’t know what else to do to try and fix that.. anyone know what I can do?

[@lith...]

This is fckng annoying. Why did I buy an expensive ass iPad but I can’t even customize this simple widget? Apple is obnoxious.

[@mmnn7963]

Here in 2023 after 2 years apple still doesnt manage to get this

[@Greg-fg1rd]

Any idea why Big Sur won't download on my MBP? Keep getting an error message.

[@domekaii]

Me too :(

[@lucacristalli3223]

Apple servers are stuck, they had a problem. It’ll be fixed in a few hours.

[@2nd-place]

Try now, I fixed it.

[@edgarmillan927]

At this point I’m pretty convinced apple just adds features with the single purpose of annoying its users.

[@rileykenneally6535]

is there a way i can make it not have the widget called “photowidget”?

[@_222clara]

Exactly

[@peeper2070]

It doesn’t show me random photos, just a random photo. I don’t want to see Dani Ceballos holding the FA Cup in August 2020.

[@Raul1088]

App doesnt appear on widget menu.please someone help me

[@itsalkung7993]

Apple literally put all of my lab report pictures in widget

[@xxxxxxxmatthew]

The photo widget I'm currently using on my Galaxy let's you change the kind of cropping (center fit is what I'm using) so each photo keeps it's aspect ratio which is what I like, especially for slideshows. The widget I used on my previous Galaxy didn't do that. Just wondering if this widget does the same or if anyone knows another app that does it for the iPhone because I'm planning on switching over.

[@ayodens]

I dont know even where is it.

[@wokekami9934]

I wanna do this without downloading a fucking app, apple been showing me signs to switch.

[@zephryxzzzeiei7741]

i want to know how can u change icon on photo widget not app photo widget
not use photo widget but need to change icon on widget "Photo"

[@jerrywebster7678]

Seems like every answer to some problem with apple is to install a third party app.

[@pravincj]

can we able to remove the PHOTO WIDGET title below the widget

[@tjstorm23]

What apps are you allowed to change the icon for an app? I have a motivation app on my phone that allows me to select what icon I would like to use for the app. Have you seen this yet?

[@andreamutoti688]

shortcuts

[@haruko4348]

Hey mate!! You can change the icons of your apps using Shortcuts!!
Firstly, go on shortcuts and click on all shortcuts.
Then, click on the + sign on the top right corner.
Click on “Add Action” and then on “Search for apps and icons”
Search “open app” and click on it
When it says “choose app”, choose the app whose icon you want to change
Now click on the bottom right icon, which is a folder with an arrow (a download kinda icon) and click on “Add to home screen”
Now here, it shows you a preview of the shortcut, Change the name of it to the app’s name.
Now click on the icon next to new shortcut, and then click on “Choose Photo”
After choosing your photo and renaming your shortcut, click on “Add”
Then you can click on cancel and “Delete Shortcut” or you can just add a voice command to it, that doesn’t affect the icon.
Even if you delete the shortcut while clicking cancel the icon will still be on your home screen.
Click on it and you can go to your app!! :D
I hope it helped!!

[@bagn8262]

The app won’t pop up so I can put it on T-T god dam it

[@cooperwright1037]

When I press the plus the app isn’t there

[@chapterwan10]

Changing different photos all time made my fiancé to know to that I’m married as I opened my iPhone 📲, she saw the tagged widget with a photo of me and my wife.
Apple please try another way out so that our widget can be showing a specific photo as we demand it to do so.
If we’ve Siri that can do various things for us, why not this now,Apple?

[@christiangriffith225]
