So with my iOS 18 update on my 15 Pro Max and iPad Pro, the option for Slide Show on my Hidden Photos seems to have been deleted. Is there a way to get a slideshow going again, or does Apple have a reason for doing this?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
I found the answer. They buried the setting, but it’s still there.
You can still set it under screen saver> memories, and slideshows> Home sharing>photos>albums

Having a little trouble finding that still…maybe I’m blind but where do I get to the screen saver to follow the progression?

Hidden isn't an album in the same sense as others, so the options are different. I would not have imagined that someone would want a slideshow of their hidden pictures, so that may be why that is not an option.
But I have had to hide and un-hide pictures (mostly when talking to people about stuff like this,) and I did this: I selected all my hidden pictures, chose save to Album, made a new album (with the +) and named it "My Hidden." Then I put all the pictures there. It's weird-- the new album will look totally empty, since the pictures are all hidden! But then you go to Hidden, select all, and un-hide them. Then they all disappear from the Hidden album, because they're no longer hidden. But you can now see them in My Hidden, and you can make a slideshow. When you're through, you can select all and mark them hidden, and they will disappear and show up in the Hidden view.
Normally, when you un-hide several pictures, they reappear wherever they came from, scattered all over the place, so it's difficult to find them and hide them, again. But with the above process, they can all be found in one place for re-hiding.
What do you think?
I see nobody else has replied, so I'll toss in my two cents...
We users here are not privy to Apple's reasons for changes they make to their products. Maybe they just never thought anybody would want to use the slide show tool on the Hidden album and so didn't protect that ability. Or it's just a bug. Have you reported it to Apple?
