SP2016: How can I add a Picture Library app to MySites by default?

Copper Contributor

People have been creating their MySite in SP2016.  Several people want to upload photos to their MySite.  When they go to add an app, they can only select Document Library, Access App, or Import Spreadsheet.  I would like to give them the ability to add a Picture Library as well.  (We do not have an app store.)

 

Currently, I have to go into each individuals MySite as an administrator and activate the Team Collaboration Lists feature.  Of course this adds more than just a Picture Library.  

 

I tried creating a new site collection template based on My Sites Host, but any time I try to activate the features it goes to my personal site.

 

Any suggestions?

MySite is created with a special template that don't have that picture library...what I would do here is to check wich feature you need to enable to have that kind of library
The feature needed is Team Collaboration Lists. How can I apply this to every profile being created?
MySites are not designed to support customization. I would suggest not doing this.
