IOS 16 is not just about the Lock Screen, it's about the Lock Screens. For any of the Lock Screen images, I can also apply one of a handful of filter effects such as Black & White or Color Back Drop to further enhance my Lock Screen look. I did this for a while to find just the right size and position for my Flatiron building Lock Screen. I can also pinch to zoom in and crop my photo to better work on the screen. IOS 16 Lock Screen Widget Edit lets you add, remove, and configure a wide range of info widgets. As soon as I deleted all my widgets, her head popped back to the front. As a result, the image segmentation effect disappears and, on my screen, my wife's head is now behind the time and widget box. However, I can add up to four elements that surface information like my calendar, a different time zone clock, stocks, activities, battery life, and more.Īdding this widget, though, at least in the current beta, is like a signal to iOS 16 that you prize information over beauty. Now I can hold down on a Lock Screen to access the 'Customize Button.' Through it, I can add a screen-width widget that sits right below the time. The lessons Apple learned from its Apple Watch and the watch screen face complications (bits of live-feed information that you can sprinkle around the display) have been carried over to the iOS 16 and the Lock Screen. To access different ones, you hold down on the current one and then swipe through them.

It's a striking effect, but it's just a small piece of the Lock Screen's new power and customizability. On my device, for instance, I have a photo of my wife where her head partially obscures the time.

It all starts with the Lock Screen, which makes sense since it's how you and anyone who happens to glance at your iPhone first sees the platform anyway.įor years, Apple didn't do much with the screen other than stuff it full of notifications that obliterate whatever beauty might lie in your lock screen image. So much of what's new and special about iOS 16 public beta revolves around, at least for me, the programming wizardry Apple is now applying to images or rather segmentation of images. IOS 16 Lock Screen lets your subjects float over the time.
