The pictures will only stream from one iCloud account. I don’t think most people reflect on this privacy issue. If you carefully curate what’s in your iCloud library, you’ll be okay. Many embarrassing stories start this way. I think this is a horrible idea because sometimes pictures are saved to iCloud that you might not want others to see.

When you’re in the Screensaver settings, you have a few options for what images appear. To immediately start the screensaver, double-click the menu button while you’re at the home screen. I have no idea why Apple skipped the hour mark for this option. These options match the MacOS for the most part: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or Never. That’s how long it will take before the screensaver kicks in. In the Settings > General screen, select Screensaver and Start After. Hold down the home button and “ Sleep Now?” will appear on-screen. To initiate the sleep, head on over to the home screen. In MacOS, you get to use a slider for Energy Saver. I’m not sure why Apple didn’t use a slider for this setting. You’ll have a choice of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 10 hours or Never.

Under General, you’ll see the Sleep After settings. To change the default time on sleep, head on over to the Settings app. You’ll want to make sure your sleep timer setting is greater than your screensaver setting.
