I mean yeah, we can always put on a great iPhone case, but we should have our own style and tastes be reflected in the operating system itself, too.Inside: If you’ve tried to declutter before but didn’t make the progress you wanted, try some of these ways to declutter when nothing else works.ĭecluttering your home is hard work. Regardless, the changes to the Lock Screen are huge and a good sign that Apple knows we want to make our devices feel more like our own. It's a little odd it didn't include different options for the two shortcut buttons on the Lock Screen for Flashlight and Camera, but maybe that'll arrive sooner rather than later. Apple clearly is emphasizing personalization, and being able to finally change up the Lock Screen is huge. I'll admit, the Lock Screen customization we got caught me off guard, Bbt I think it's a sign of things to come. I simply wanted a better way to use custom app icons without the Shortcuts method, and maybe just have a way to apply entire themes, including wallpaper, to the device. When I wished for Apple to add more customization to iOS, I wasn't thinking about the Lock Screen. Apple's on the right track for customization When third-party developers are able to create Live Activities, they'll be glanceable but not interactive like Now Playing and Timers, unfortunately. At the moment, Live Activities seems to be limited to Now Playing controls, as well as Timers (iOS 16 is still limited to one timer at a time, for some dumb reason). However, they will constantly be refreshed and updated with app data, eliminating the need for multiple notifications, which was always annoying. Speaking of notifications, Apple also added Live Activities, which are unique, real-time notifications that look and act like widgets. And to emphasize your personalized Lock Screen, notifications now roll in from the bottom, similar to how it was done on the now-dead webOS (RIP). The Lock Screen will now also have a multilayer effect for a sense of depth so subjects in the foreground of a photo can appear "on top" of the clock. With iOS 16, we are finally able to make the Lock Screen truly ours by choosing a color and typeface for the clock, as well as adding informative or fun widgets. Before iOS 16, everyone's Lock Screen was pretty much the same, except for the wallpaper. And when you're around other people, it's also the first thing they're going to notice before you unlock your phone. The Lock Screen is what we first see on our favorite iPhone before we start using it. Apple added two buttons for quick access to the Flashlight and Camera at some point, but the overall look and feel of the Lock Screen has never changed - that is, until iOS 16. Then, Face ID came along and replaced our finger for biometrics.īut even with the Touch ID and Face ID changes, the Lock Screen remained relatively the same.
Eventually, when Apple added Touch ID to the Home button, there was no more Slide to Unlock - instead, we used our fingerprint to unlock the iPhone. When the iPhone first came out, we had "Slide to Unlock" on the Lock Screen, and it became a staple in the modern smartphone world.
