In iOS 16, your lock screen can do a lot more: this platform update adds a level of lock screen customization that iOS has never before provided, including widgets and wallpaper options. Even better, you’re not limited to just one lock screen; you can design multiple ones to reflect the time of day, the weather, or your mood.
It’s a level of customization uncharacteristic of an Apple device. But, aside from the amusement value of turning your wallpaper into a grid of poop emoji, iOS 16 allows you to get useful information at a glance that previously required you to unlock your phone and that alone deserves a big thumbs-up.
We got our hands on the iOS 16 beta and we decided to make a quick guide on how you can change the lock screen on your iPhone once you have got the final release.
Step 1. On your lock screen, tap and hold any empty space.
Step 2. To begin creating a new lock screen, tap the plus sign at the bottom.
