Anyone else having an issue with their iPhone not creating new Memories in Photos.app? I have an SE where I did a fresh install of iOS 11 GM and setup the phone as new. That was about a week ago.

Currently I have memories that were automatically setup shortly after I setup the phone but new memories are not being created? Even the memories that were setup were pretty much all from pre-2017.

I'm using iCloud Photo Library and have over 8,500 photos and videos.

According to previous articles I found relating to iOS 10, the phone needs to be charging and the memories should typically be created overnight. Well, I charge my phone overnight everyday so not sure what's going on.

I have kids and like to often look back at previous photos and really love this Memories feature since it makes it easy and fun to look back. Anybody have any ideas or experiencing similar thing?
 
I just checked: both my iPhone and iPad created new memories for me today. I have noticed that memories are not created every day (even in iOS 10)- sometimes for several days.
