Gadgets! New fonts and colors! Emoji wallpaper! iOS 16 finally gives the iPhone lock screen the attention it deserves.
Apple’s recent changes to the lock screen are more than profound, as you can now associate your lock screen with different focus modes. This means that the settings you customize for each of the modes – Do Not Disturb, Drive, Personal, Sleep and Work – are reflected in what’s shown on your lock screen.
You can now customize the settings for the different focus modes in the current version of iOS. But with this update, you will be able to switch modes directly from the lock screen and vice versa. Here’s how to set it up.
1. Press and hold the lock screen to open the screen settings.
This is also where you can create and customize wallpaper and add widgets.

2. Tap the focus icon.
You’ll find this at the bottom center of the screen. Once you tap this icon, a window will appear with all the different focus modes. If you haven’t customized your focus modes, scroll all the way down and tap Focus Settings to adjust them.
