At the opening of WWDC22, Apple unveiled iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura. These significant updates to the Cupertino company’s operating systems contain a lot of significant adjustments. On iPhones, these include widgets and a revamped Lock Screen that can be customized. In the meanwhile, resizable app window capability was added to M1 iPads. Full-screen album art is perhaps one of the most intriguing features of the new iPhone Lock Screen. Many reminiscing fans applaud Apple for bringing back this option after years of doing so. The revised edition is now available as a setting. Therefore, you have the option of remaining with the music player’s tiny album art or letting the album cover take up the entire screen.

The iPhone lock screen has undergone the largest update in recent years with iOS 16. You may modify and personalize your clock, add widgets, and even apply the new depth effect to give it a more appealing appearance.
