Is there a limit to how many photos the Lock Screen will show from your Photos as it shuffles? I have a load of Nature photos, but I only seem to see the same 10 or so rotating every hour.
 
Anyone???? I've taken a bunch of new photos that are clearly "Nature" but don't appear. I've tried setting up a new Lock Screen and the SAME photos appear. Honestly this Photo Shuffle feature seems broken, or VERY limited. Anyone managed to get it working such that it shows more than the same 5-10 photos, and also show recent photos taken?
 
I have mine set to show specific people and change once per hour. For the most part it works and is not cycling through specific photos. But I have plenty to choose from. There is occasionally buggy behavior though...sometimes it will not change the photo for several hours, sometimes it will change it multiple times within a few minutes.
 
It's changing every hour, as I configured it. It's just always showing the same 10'ish photo's of the 1000's I have. And it also isn't adding any new photos I've taken. What gives???
 
Mine is set to change every hour. It does, but the rotation is weird. Some days it seems like it gets stuck on the same few pictures. A restart usually does the trick, but yea this feature needs some work.
 
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question but in my case, the photo limit is 50 and you have to select which photos you want to shuffle.

Use the button in the bottom left in edit mode to select your photos.
