Görlitz Apple’s redesigned Lock Screen — What you’ve learned already

In your previous learning session, you learned that in iOS 16 you can personalize your Lock Screen with your favorite photos, add filters and widgets, and even change the font of the time.

You also learned that widgets and Live Activities make it easy to stay up to date on information from your favorite apps and receive updates in real-time.

Now, let’s cover more ways to personalize your Lock Screen.

🤔 http://thehistoryhacker.com/category/states-of-being/ Please know: The iOS 16 Lock Screen customization has not yet been ported over to iPadOS 16. If you are wondering when can you change the clock font on your iPad, you will probably have to wait for a few months. It might also be possible that Apple will wait to introduce it in iPadOS 17. 

Switch between Lock Screens 

You can create multiple custom Lock Screens and switch between them throughout the day.

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen (but don’t tap the button).
2. Swipe left or right to the Lock Screen you want to use, then tap it to activate.

How To Link a Focus to your Lock Screen

Focus helps you concentrate on a task by minimizing distractions. You can set up a Focus to temporarily silence all notifications, or allow only specific notifications (ones that apply to your task, for example).

By linking a Focus to your Lock Screen, your Focus settings apply when you use that Lock Screen.

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize button appears at the bottom of the screen (but don’t tap the button).
2. Tap Focus near the bottom of the wallpaper to see the Focus options—for example, Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, and Work.
3. Select a Focus, then tap the Close  button.
