Slideshows are a fun and creative way to showcase your photos and memories so you can watch them or share them with your friends and family. Whether you're putting together a slideshow for a special event, a social media post, or just to relive some great moments, your iPhone makes creating slideshows incredibly easy.

How to make a slideshow on an iPhone

You can create slideshows directly in the Photos app or use third-party apps for more customization options. Let's explore both methods, with step-by-step instructions for each.

Creating a slideshow on an iPhone is simple, and the native Photos app offers basic tools to get the job done quickly.

Third-party apps are also available if you're looking for more advanced features. Let’s create a slideshow using the Photos app and other apps worth exploring.

How to make a slideshow in the Photos App

Here’s how you can easily make a slideshow using your iPhone's Photos app:

  1. Open the Photos app from your iPhone’s Home screen.
  2. Choose an album and then ‘Select.’
  3. Tap on all the photos that you want to include in your slideshow.
  4. Tap the three dots in the lower right corner of your screen.
  5. Tap ‘Slideshow.’

Use CleanMy®Phone to organize your digital clutter

As you create slideshows, it’s easy to accumulate tons of photos and videos that may clutter your iPhone storage. That's where CleanMy®Phone’s Organize Module comes in handy. The Organize Module helps you sort, clean, and organize your photo library, removing duplicates and grouping similar photos. By decluttering your photo library, you free up valuable space on your iPhone, making it easier to find the perfect photos for your slideshows while optimizing your iPhone’s performance.

How to save slideshow on iPhone

As mentioned above, your slideshow is automatically saved in the ‘Memories’ section of the Photos app. This is great for personal use, but if you want to share it, it makes things more difficult. One workaround is to use the screen recording feature to capture the slideshow. This way, you can save it as a separate video to share across platforms or through Messenger. Here’s how to do it.

  1. After creating your slideshow, swipe diagonally down from the top right corner of your iPhone to open the iPhone’s Control Center.
  2. Tap the screen recording icon, which looks like a circle inside a circle. The app will count down from three and then start recording your screen.
  3. Play your slideshow within the Photos app.
  4. When it is finished playing, tap the stop recording button at the top of the screen. Your video will be saved inside the Photos app.
  5. You can trim your video by tapping ‘Edit’ before sharing it however you wish.
