The lock screen becomes more personal, beautiful and helpful with iOS 16. With a new multilevel effect, the subjects of the photos are artistically set in front of the time on the lock screen, creating a feeling of depth.

Users can also change the look of the date and time with expressive typing style and color choices.

The lock screen has widgets that draw inspiration from the complexity of the Apple Watch, which makes it easy to get information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events, weather, battery levels, alarms, time zones, activity ring progress, and more.
