Who needs defaults? One of the best things about iOS is how much customization it offers over how your Home Screen and Lock Screen look and feel. Your iPhone’s built–in features go way beyond simply changing your wallpaper and calling it a day. Take a look under the hood and you’ll find that iOS lets you personalize far more than you thought was possible.
For example, in iOS 16 you can place small widgets on your iPhone’s Lock Screen that show your activity rings, upcoming reminders, and much more. There are toggles to change Lock Screen fonts, wallpaper colors, gradients and effects, and even add wallpapers that sparkle with beautiful animated effects or show the weather in real time.
That’s not all. You can also create custom Home Screens and Lock Screens that activate when you launch a specific Focus mode, saving you the time and hassle of manually setting everything up each time. There are oodles of options available, enabling you to create a theme that’s tailor–made to your specific requirements and personal to you.
