How to delete a custom Lock Screen in iOS 16
With iOS 16, users can create custom Lock Screens on iPhone with personalised fonts and colours, and widgets to show Apple Watch-style glanceable information including the weather, news, upcoming calendar events, reminders, battery levels, and more.
Users can create multiple custom Lock Screens with different wallpapers, colours, widgets and font styles, with a full library able to be created to switch and use to change the look of the iPhone as and when required, offering the ability to switch from something formal for work, and fun and playful for leisure.
Apple offers four different font types to choose from and an infinite colour selection through a colour grid, spectrum and sliders, as well as the option to specify a Hex colour code within the iOS 16 Lock Screen editor.
