2.1.3 Safe to install
Put photos on your home screen using widgets. It also works well with StandBy.
Create multiple photo widgets with one or more photos per widget. If you choose more than one photo, the photos will change at a specified time interval that can be customized in the settings. Each widget can have its own set of photos, and you can also display photos from an album in your photo library.
This app is completely free with no ads or in-app purchases. We would appreciate it if you could leave a positive review.
Features
- Widgets with a single photo.
- Widgets with multiple photos that change on an interval (slideshow).
- Widgets showing photos from an album in your photo library (slideshow).
- Three widget sizes.
- Import photos from the photo library or the file system.
- Tapping a widget can show a larger preview of the photo, open a URL, or run a shortcut.
- The "Album" widget has a setting to display a random photo only from the most recent n photos in the album, where n is the number you choose.
How it works
First, decide if you want to select individual photos to display (option 1) or choose an existing album from your photo library (option 2).
- Add photos to the app, which you can later choose from in a widget. Then add the "Photo Widget" widget with the "Photos" type and edit the widget to select the photos you want to show.
- Add the "Photo Widget" widget with the "Album" type and edit it to choose the album.
Limitation
If you create multiple widgets of the same size, all set to display all the photos or the same album, they will show photos in the same order. This is a limitation imposed by the iOS widget system. You can work around this by giving the widgets unique names in the widget configuration.
Tip
If you have a widget that cycles between photos and you want to skip to the next photo, long-press the widget, select "Edit Widget," and then close the edit view. The widget should now display a new photo.

-
How do I edit a widget?
When on the home screen, long-press on the widget, and select "Edit Widget".
-
Why am I only able to add 100 photos to the app?
This limitation is due to technical restrictions in the iOS widget system. Hopefully, this limit can be increased in the future. However, it should be sufficient for most users. There is no limit to the number of photos you can display if you use the "Album" widget.
-
How can I hide the name of the app displayed below the widget?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to hide the app name as app developers do not have the capability to do so.
-
How is this app different from the built-in "Photos" widget?
The built-in widget only shows photos from "Memories" and "Featured Photos" in your photo library. There is no option to customize or select the photos to be displayed.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to display animated GIFs in a widget.
