Now that Apple has finally released iOS 16, we also know more about the new features. Perhaps the best features of iOS 16 are in the new lockscreen. We’ll show you what you can do with it and how it works.
New Lockscreen Features in iOS 16
At the WWDC keynote, Apple already showed it: in iOS 16, the lock screen (or lock screen) gets new functions and a fresh design. The best part about this is that from now on you can adjust the design yourself. For example, it is possible to change the colors of the clock and widgets can be placed on the lock screen.
Special photo gallery for the lockscreen
In addition, there is also a special gallery with your own photos and several new backgrounds. Also nice: photos that you have shot in portrait mode can be used in a special way. This gives the lock screen of your iPhone in iOS 16 some more depth. The extra 3D information from the portrait photos is then used by your iPhone to place the numbers of the clock slightly behind your head.
Animated Wallpapers in iOS 16
There are also new moving wallpapers, which flow smoothly into your home screen. Think of a rotating globe or the moon. When you unlock the lockscreen in iOS 16, these new features cause the planet to spin and slide to the bottom of the screen.
Customize Lockscreen in iOS 16
It is very easy to customize your iPhone lock screen in the new update. To do this, follow the steps below.
Customize Lockscreen in iOS 16
- Press and hold your finger on the lockscreen;
- Scroll to the right and tap the blue ball with the plus sign;
- Tap ‘Photos’ and choose one of the images;
- Tap the clock to change the font and color;
- Close the window with a tap on the cross;
- Tap the plus sign box below the clock, choose the widgets you want to use and tap the cross;
- Tap ‘Done’ to set your own lockscreen.
How to Create Emoji Wallpaper in iOS 16
In addition to setting a photo, you can also choose to create an emoji background. You can set this background by choosing not ‘Photos’ in step 3 above, but ‘Emoji’.
Then choose the emojis you want to use (up to six). Then close the emoji window and swipe right to choose one of several emoji backgrounds. Tap “Done” to set the wallpaper.
