How To Create A Slideshow On Samsung Galaxy S7

Ramirez Wharleas · Friday, December 3, 2021

Unable to display more than one photo on the lock screen after the most recent update. Prior to that, you could load up to 30. Is this completely gone or is there a setting adjustment solution.
Thanks

You can still do it, but it's not intuitive.

Go to Settings > Wallpapers and Themes

Tap on "From Gallery" under "My Wallpapers", then choose "Lock screen" at the bottom from the pop-up options (don't worry, this doesn't set the first photo in your gallery to the lock screen wallpaper, even though it makes you think so).

From the new screen, select all the photos from your various albums that you want in the slideshow, then tap "Done" at the upper right. Give it a moment to show you the confirmation message, and you're done. (The first time I did it, I backed out before the confirmation message and it didn't work.)

It doesn't allow to select multiple pics. I tried pressing and hold and just selecting. Nothing works. Any clarification on how you did it after this latest update?

It only works for Lock Screen and not for the Home Screen. So make sure you select only the "Lock Screen" option.

It should say "Select Items" at the top after you do so, on the screen where it shows you the pictures or albums. All the individual pics have little circles in them to show whether they're selected, and there's a counter at the top.

The instructions I gave above are the exact steps. What isn't clear?

Btw, the software version I'm on is G930PVPU4BQAA.

I have the same issue. What isn't clear is that with the newest update it doesn't prompt you for home or lock screen until AFTER you select a photo. It will not allow you to select more than one photo. Wondering if there is a way around this or not.

I'm using Android 8.0.0/ Samsung 9.0

Same problem here with the latest update. I can't select multiple photos for the lock screen. I really want that option back!
