People album not showing correctly in wallpaper shuffle

Hi,


I have a problem when I try to use the “Changing Picture” wallpaper.


I can set it up, but when I try to choose categories under Shuffle Categories, and select People, the list of people is different from the one in the Photos app.

Do you have any solution?


iPhone 13, iOS 26

That is intentional. The artificial intelligence is selecting groups of people, where the photo will look good when cropped to portrait orientation.I have more than 1000 named people in my photos library, but but only twenty of them are appearing in the list of recommended people. Theoretically, you can ignore all the suggested photos and create your own album you want to use and then select fifty 50 from this album for shuffling when you use the custom option. However , I never got this far, because Photos is hanging, as soon as I select "custom".
