IOS 16 Lock Screen: Decorate your iPhone with new customization features

If you need a pick-me-up, maybe trying out a new iPhone case may do the trick.

In iOS 16, Apple has entirely rethought how the iPhone's lock screen may be personalized. The iOS 16 lock screen allows for extensive customization. You may customize your security screen in several ways, including changing the font, color, and appearance and adding widgets.

Before getting lost in the weeds, spend time customizing the lock screen. At the very least, fresh skin for your handheld diversion device will bring some much-needed pizazz into your day.

Customizing your iOS 16 lock screen is simple, but there are still some nuances to remember. Here's how to set a unique passcode on your iPhone:

Font Size and Style for the Lock Screen

• Long-press the iPhone lock screen after installing iOS 16. You can now browse the updated Lock Screen photo gallery.

• To switch out the factory-installed Apple wallpaper, you'll need to make your own. To switch the background image anytime, select Customize from the settings menu.

• To change the time, select the text on the clock and click it. The consequence is the introduction of a brand-new Font & Color dialogue box.

• Tap the font you'd want to use from the menu that appears.

• Once a new font has been chosen, the panel can be closed by clicking the "x."

• Simply clicking the "Done" button at the top of the screen will store your modifications. Then, select "Set as Wallpaper Pair" to make it official.

The Lock Screen Wallpaper can be changed to:

• You'll find the Customize option at the Lock Screen's bottom when you touch and hold the screen.

• If the Lock Screen doesn't reply, try again and input your passcode. Choose Photos or Photo Shuffle from the "+" button's gallery.

• Photos users interested in stacking several effects can do so by selecting the "three dots" in the lower right corner, then choosing Depth Effect.

• To reposition the picture, use two fingers to drag it to a new spot.

• Swiping left or right allows you to try other photo layouts with various complementary color filters and typefaces.

Install Lock Screen Widgets:

• The Customize button, accessible from the Lock Screen by touching and holding the screen, will display.

• Click Customize, then press the empty box next to the time display to add a widget to the Lock Screen.

• To add a widget, tap or drag the one you wish to add.

• If you want to make room for another widget, but there isn't enough room, you can tap the "-" button to remove it.
