Doing so will cause the Lock Screen to recede in the background and will take you into a ‘Lock Screen gallery’ UI where you can see the multiple Lock Screens you’ve created, flip through them to preview them, add a new one, or swipe an existing one upward to delete it.Įntering the Lock Screen’s customization mode. To enter Lock Screen customization mode, you need to long-press anywhere on the Lock Screen. A good way to think about it is the following: customizing the Lock Screen is now very similar to customizing your watch face on the Apple Watch.
The customization we have in iOS 16 includes wallpapers – and in fact goes above and beyond anything Apple ever offered for wallpapers on iOS – but that’s only one component of a larger system. To be fair, we’ve always been able to customize the Lock Screen, even in the very early days of the iPhone and iPhone OS 1.0. This omission sticks out like a sore thumb in the iOS 16 Lock Screen, and it strikes me as an odd vestige from a bygone era that predates customization on Apple platforms.īy this time next year, I hope we’ll be talking about our favorite replacements for the flashlight and Camera buttons on the iOS 17 Lock Screen. There are still two shortcuts at the bottom of the Lock Screen to toggle the iPhone’s flashlight and open the Camera alas, these buttons continue to be non-customizable. You can still swipe right to access the ‘Today page’ of widgets, which continue to be non-interactive, and which you cannot place on the main Lock Screen. The rest of the iOS 16 Lock Screen follows the same structure – and unfortunately falls short of the same limitations – of the iOS 15 one. As I’ll explore later in the Notifications chapter, this design change involves multiple display modes for notifications too. The current date now sits above the clock, and notifications roll in at the bottom of the page by default, leaving room for your wallpaper to shine. The first difference you’ll notice is that some items have moved above the system clock while others have been relocated to the bottom of the Lock Screen. The Structure of the New Lock Screenīefore we talk about the Lock Screen’s new capabilities, we must analyze its structure compared to iOS 15. While the Apple of a few years ago was actively trying to discourage the constant pickup of our iPhones, the company’s message is different today: not only can you buy an iPhone that always shows you some Lock Screen elements, but whenever you pick it up, you’ll experience a more vibrant, personal Lock Screen that was made just for you. And rightfully so: the new customization tools created by Apple make even the simple act of checking the time or seeing how many new notifications we have more personal, fun, and, ultimately, a reflection of our digital selves.
