How to CUSTOMIZE Your Lock Screen in iOS 16!!📱🤯

My astronomy face just like that sleep has automatically been enabled so you can do this for any of these faces tying them to any of the focus modes that you create for working out for driving for sleeping for being at the office anything like that you can customize these faces these lock screens and time those focus modes it's an awesome change to how these lock screens work if I could just interrupt myself for one moment I have to think our sponsor for this video Jamf is the de facto standard in Apple mobile device management and it's trusted by more than 62,000 businesses schools and hospitals. Apple's exceptional hardware is only half of the equation how you secure manage and to empower your users with that technology is the other half and Jamf makes that happen.

Jamf is ready to scale to any size business whether you've got a handful of iPads or you have tens of thousands of iPhones iPads Macs and Apple TVs Jamf can be the solution.

JAMF automatically sources packages and deploys the new versions ensuring users have the latest features and security patches on a personal note I've actually had the opportunity to sit down with several organizations that have rolled out Jamf MDM solutions in their businesses and they have always spoken extremely highly of Jam software and credited with making all of their goals a reality.

You can get started today and start your free trial by following the link that is down in the description or by heading to jamf.com. Thank you again very much to Jamf for sponsoring this video now let's take a look at some changes coming to the home screen first Apple has changed the way that Spotlight works previously you could pull down and spotlight appear at the top of your screen that still works but now Apple has moved that search bar towards the bottom so it pops up right above the keyboard I think that's a little bit more convenient especially if you have to move in and change words or just typos anything like that.

Beyond that you can also tap on the search button there just above your dock so if I start scrolling through it changes to the pagination but I can also tap it and boom I'm right into Spotlight search so very handy Apple has also made several improvements to Spotlight across all of its platforms iOS iPad OS and Mac OS so there's some nice improvements coming to Spotlight making it more useful than it was before.

Now let's go ahead and look at widgets first I'm going to tap on an icon and hit edit home screen. Tap on that plus button in the top left hand corner if we go down look at maybe news first. The news widget has been updated Apple says that the news widget will now have more local news brought into the widget so Apple was offering local news in certain metro areas and now that information will populate in the news widget as well as actually in the news app.

So if you're in one of those areas one of those bigger cities that's very helpful to have inside of the news widget going back Apple says the stock widget will have a new two column view so you can see more tickers at once right now I'm not seeing that it looks like they're all the same ones compared to my iOS 12 device so that likely is coming in a future beta.

If we tap out of that the notes widget that has been updated Apple has brought Quick Note to iOS it was before was on Mac OS and iPad OS but it's now come to the iPhone as well. So there is now new a Quick Note and a Large Quick Note view to create those notes right there from the home screen super nice easy to have with Notes and finally in Sleep Apple made improvements to sleep data well with iOS 16 there's a new Sleep widget that gives you a more detailed view of your sleep history from the previous night.

So before you had the data and schedule now there's this new specific one that gives your last night's data in one little widget. That covers it, that is everything new coming to the lock screen and the home screen as part of iOS 16 including how you can make your own customized lock screens I'm very excited for this especially with an iPhone 14 with a supposed always-on display I think those widgets are going to be amazing.
