Apple iOS 16 features: How to customize Lock Screen of your iPhone; Check here

iOS 16: Tech giant Apple’s newly previewed iOS 16  introduced a complete overhaul of the iOS Lock Screen, making it more customizable than ever and able to display information-rich widgets. T In ‌iOS 16‌, you can customize the Lock Screen with unique fonts, colors, and, for the first time, widgets. 

All you need to do is unlock your ‌iPhone‌ with Face ID or Touch ID, and then long press on the Lock Screen to enter the Lock Screen gallery.  If you have an Apple Watch, the interface you see will be familiar, since it's very similar to the way watch face customization works. Lock Screens are categorized here into Collections (stock Apple Lock Screens), Photos, and Colors. 

You can swipe left and right to choose a different existing Lock Screen, and then long press one to set it. Alternatively, you can tap Customize to personalize the currently selected Lock Screen, or tap the blue + button to create a completely new one, MacRumors reported. 

Customizing Your Lock Screen

According to a report from MacRumors, tapping Customize brings up an interactive view of your Lock Screen with several options at your disposal depending on the type of Lock Screen. If you're customizing a "Color" Lock Screen, you can tap the colored circle on the left to change the color and hue, and you can swipe left and right to apply different styles to the image.

If you're customizing a "Photo" Lock Screen, the bottom options let you choose another picture (or a selection of pictures if its a Shuffle wallpaper) from your photo library, set a filter, and enable or disable the Perspective Zoom/Depth Effect.

Please noted that the filters available to you by swiping left and right are intelligently generated automatically for the chosen image, so you'll see different options here. If you're customizing a Lock Screen from Apple's "Collections," the options at the bottom of the screen are more limited, MacRumors reported.

When you've finished customizing your Lock Screen, simply tap Done, and then tap the screen again to exit the Lock Screen gallery. You can also customize the current Lock Screen by going into Settings -> Wallpaper & Lock Screens.
