If you didn\u2019t like the automatic selection, you could pick photos manually, but it was clumsy. In iOS 17 (and iPadOS 17, which also added customizable Lock Screens), you can now point the Lock Screen\u2019s Photo Shuffle wallpaper at an album. Touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the blue \u2a01 button to create a new wallpaper, select Photo Shuffle, select Album, choose the desired album from the pop-up menu, set a frequency, tap Use Album, and tap the Add button at the top.
