No Themes for photos in Standby Mode

[RhysoTDI]

Had a look but couldn't find anything

In Standby Mode it says you can have different themes for the photos. I long press to open the editor but when swiping up or down it doesn't show me any themes like people or pets???

The only theme I have is featured.

Am I missing something?? Also find it annoying you can't select your main photo album for it to scroll through; only the albums you've created

Phone is 15 Pro

Thanks

Thank you for the video but I don’t have any of those options nor the ability to swipe up ☹️

as you can see I don’t have any dots on the right side to scroll through themes 🥴🥴. Do the themes need to be configured somehow?? 🤔

the way i have read and understood is that there are preset themes like pets etc or have i misunderstood that 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can swipe up and down to change between themes like Favorites, Nature, Pets, Cities, and People. You can also hide any themes that you don't like, and add additional albums. The steps below show you how it's done

Silly question, you do have photo of those themes in your Photo app?

Silly question, you do have photo of those themes in your camera roll?

Yup. Have pictures of my dog, my girlfriends dogs, people, cars etc 🥴 have over 30,000 photos in my camera roll so there should be enough to curate at least one theme!!

Yep, it’s weird.

Yep, it’s weird.

As an update to the weirdness, I now have the aforementioned missing themes 😳🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m wondering if the photos needed to be categorised in the background and this has taken longer than normal. End result is when I put my phone on charge last night and it entered standby mode I had full access to the themes for the photos
