The Photos app on iPhone automatically selects featured photos at random. The system scans your photo library to select visually appealing, meaningful images. These images appear in the Photos and Memories widgets on the screen, as featured photos for users to adjust. Here are instructions for changing and editing featured photos on iPhone.

If you want to remove a featured photo you've added , tap the Featured Photos album . Then tap and hold the photo and select Remove from Featured Photos .
