The iPhone gets a new lock screen in iOS 16. Here’s how to customize your lock screen!

With iOS 16, you have more control over how your lock screen looks. During Apple‘s WWDC 2022 keynote on Monday, the iPhone maker showed off the ability to customize the lock screen with new personalization features.

These new features will let you automatically rotate a set of lock screen images, enable filters, change font types and colors, add widgets, and more. If you’ve been waiting for your chance to get rid of Apple’s traditionally limited personalization features, this is a welcome upgrade.

Here’s how to customize your lock screen once iOS 16 is available – possibly this fall.

To customize or add filters to your lock screen image, just hold the image and tap Customize. From there, swipe left or right to choose from different styles, filters, and fonts. If you want to go beyond the suggested styles provided, you can further customize by tapping any element on the lock screen. For example, if you want to change the font or color of the time, you can tap the clock to do so.

You can also add widgets directly to the lock screen if you want to see information like the weather, activity ring or calendar events at a glance. You can tap the plus sign below the clock to bring up the widget library. Then, just drag any widget you want from the gallery onto the lock screen.

After personalizing the lock screen according to your requirements, you can click Done in the upper right corner to save.

You can also create entirely new looks from scratch. Swipe right on the lock screen to bring up a new wallpaper gallery with different preset collections and designs you can choose from. Alternatively, you can choose from your own photo library.

If you want to shuffle a group of photos throughout the day, you can select the Photo Shuffle option. You can browse the suggested photo library to find photos intelligently picked from your photo library.
