This could be possible using home_widget and workmanager packages.

This would be a much wanted feature! Looking forward to it. Thanks.

I'm so looking forward to this feature! Even better if it has some kind of 'smart stories' Ai feature like iPhone, for example recognizing your partner or a new trip!

Just a request on top of this, it would be cool if there was some sort of random seed determining the order of photos, so for shared albums, multiple people can use the same seed to sync their widgets together.

Folks, as is hopefully pretty clear from all the minimized comments, if you don't have anything to add to the request please just upvote the original post.

So I had an idea that you could accomplish this on iOS with a Scriptable widget that uses the Immich API, as a temporary workaround until it's implemented natively. I gave it a shot to see if it was feasible.

It's rather janky but works. Image quality is hit or miss. I have put up a gist for this in case anyone wants to try it out.
