Features & Capabilities

New in 2.8: the app now speaks 24 languages. Pick an iCloud shared or local album and your Home Screen fills with your own photos. No account, no ads, no tracking.

The best photos you own are the ones you never look at. They sit in an album you last opened months ago. Photo Album Widget brings them back out, onto the screen you check a hundred times a day, and keeps them coming with nothing left for you to do.

Choose an album once. That is the whole setup.

Point a widget at an iCloud shared album that your family and friends keep adding to, or at any album already on your device, and it starts pulling photos from it. Every time the widget refreshes there is a different one waiting.

WHAT YOU CAN SET UP • As many widgets as you like, each one on its own album with its own settings • Photo order: oldest first, newest first, or completely random • How often the photo changes, anywhere from every 5 minutes to once every 24 hours • Filters, including Noir for classic black and white • Decorative frames around the photo • An optional caption with the date the photo was taken, the place it was taken, or both • What a tap does: open the photo full screen in the app, or skip straight to the next photo without leaving the Home Screen

Put one widget on your parents' shared vacation album and another on last summer's camping trip, side by side, each refreshing on its own schedule.

ON YOUR MAC, TOO The same widget runs on macOS. Your album gets a place on your desktop and behaves exactly the way it does on your phone.

NOW IN 24 LANGUAGES New in this version: the app and the widget's setup screen are fully translated into 24 languages, so you can set everything up in the language you already think in.

NOTHING TO SIGN UP FOR No account. No sign-in. No ads. No tracking. Photo Album Widget reads your albums straight from the photo library on your device, and your photos never leave it.

Pick an album, and let it run.

User Reviews

I wanted to put all my pictures of my dachshund on a widget with a controllable interval time between photos. I also wanted to be able to point the widget at an EXISTING album from my photos app. I tried everything. Tons of free apps. The stock Apple Photos widget. The Shortcuts/Automation app. Nothing gave me what I wanted. I finally found this app. I’ve had an iPhone since 2010 and haven’t bought probably 30 apps the entire time. I paid for this one and love it! It does everything I need it to. You can even set the app to change the picture each time you touch it.

The widget just shows a white screen, never showing the photos in my album.
