Apple offers two ways to retrieve seemingly random images from your Photos library: Featured Photos, an album generated algorithmically in the For You view of the Photos app, available in iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later; and Photo Shuffle, a lock screen customization option that first appeared in iOS 16/iPadOS 16. You can also create For You with Featured Photos and Memories a home screen widget to randomly rotate through the day’s selection of images and machine -learning-generated slideshows.
