Set Random Wallpaper With No Repeats

Sets a random wallpaper from a chosen album without repeating until using every photo.

Description

Select an album and when this shortcut runs, it will select a random image to set as wallpaper. It will not repeat any wallpapers until it has run through every image in the album, and it even makes sure not to pick the same wallpaper twice in a row when starting over after using every image. Works great when run manually or as an automation to change your wallpaper every day/week/month/etc.

Latest Release Notes

1.1 - Dec. 3, 2021, 2:25 p.m.

Updated setup to choose whether to set the wallpaper to the Home Screen, Lock Screen, or both.

I get a message that pops up. And it doesn’t cycle wallpapers. “ This action is trying to share 64 Photos items, which is not allowed. You can allow this in Settings.”

Yeah, if the folder has enough photos in it, you need to go to Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced and turn on the “allow sharing large amounts of data” setting. The Shortcut doesn’t actually share anything (you’ll see that when you run the Shortcut and don’t actually get any sharing alerts, plus you can verify it runs in Airplane Mode), but since you could add an action to share a variable, the Shortcuts app is set up to require your permission at that step.
