I had created a great slideshow of a recent trip, then I upgraded to ios18. Now I can’t display the photos as I want, can’t change the playback speed or add my own music from itunes. This is HORRIBLE!

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
Almost accidentally I found a workaround to this problem. In an article (from Apple News, of all places) on uses for old iPads, there it was, an app called "Synced Photo Frame by Re-Frame". Free download, but ten bucks once started. It works very much like the "old" Apple slideshow function, able to select one or more of your iCloud albums, set duration, etc. I hate that Apple downgraded their own app and won't listen to its users, but this was definitely worth the ten buck to me. We now have pictures of vacations, family weddings, our grandchild, etc, streaming to a dedicated iPad every day.
No, I do not have any association with this app or the company that sells it.
iOS 18.3.1 has ACTUALLY INCREASED THE SPEED OF SLIDESHOWS.
WTH Apple!!! Your photos team has NO FREAKING IDEA.

WHY CAN’T I DESELECT THE “CUSTOM” OPTION? Oh, wait, YOU DON’T CARE!
Thinking no one from Apple reads anything here. This issue has been going on for some of us for 6 months with no acceptable reply or estimated date to fix.
Yes, I am using an Ipad, and yes the slideshow was saved as a memory. I was attempting to edit the memory to have the photos display as I wanted, not cropped, not stacked and I want to slow down the presentation. I also wanted to add my own music from my iTunes library as I was able to do previously.
I am using iPad OS18. The photos are in an album of their own as well as saved as a memory slideshow. Before I upgraded to OS18 I was able to display the photos in a magazine style…one full photo at a time. I was also able to change the speed of the slides by using the slider from “rabbit to turtle”, and add my own music from my iTunes library. Now with the update my photos are grouped/cropped automatically, it plays too fast and I can’t use my iTunes library. The links you provided were for the iPhone not iPad.
That is exactly the issue I’m having. I did a wonderful slideshow presentation of my grandson and future bride to play at the rehearsal dinner. I had the slides perfectly in order. I had some depicting Bible verses. And I had the music perfectly selected for the slideshow. When I went to play it, it cropped whatever ones it wanted to crop it stacked whatever ones that wanted to stack and my music was no longer even accessible. Whoever designed this had a serious deficit and understanding the needs of the consumer. If they are relying on AI to decide what I want to show and when and how I am more than willing to opt out.
I got same problem on both iPad iOS 18 and iPhone iOS 18, when select pictures and video to play as slide show the features to adjust times speed and theme are gone, can’t adjust anything and its play all selected pictures and video too fast.
would you please help to return the old feature back?
I found a solution to this problem. I sold my iPad Pro 11 M2 on Ebay for $650. Then I purchased a Lenovo Duet 3 on sale direct from Lenovo for $180. The Duet 3 has a touchscreen, kickstand, full magnetic keyboard with trackpad, two USB-c ports, digital pen included, and 100GB of Google Drive included. Oh, and the Google Photos slideshow features actually works.
You can't export a slide show from the Photos App, please clarify your answer. the original discussion on playback speed as well as being able to play a slide show without cropping images. The point is since iOS 18, there were some drastic changes to Photos app, you can't Air Play like before, there is music in the background, can't control the speed. Hoping some Tech from Apple reads this, they didn't even fix it in 18.2?
Can’t change the playback speed or display pictures from Photo app post update
