Editorialge has covered how new features in Apple’s iOS significantly affect the reconfigurability of the iPhone’s lock screen. Widgets, which can be added to the iPhone lock screen, allow you to view crucial information without unlocking the device. This article is about how to add widgets on the iPhone lock screen.
Until this point, the iPhone only allowed you to use Widgets on the home screen, but not on the lock screen. With this new feature, the iPhone is now just as customizable as Android devices, which previously allowed users to install Widgets directly on the lock screen.
Currently, the only Widgets that are supported on the iPhone lock screen are those offered by Apple’s built-in apps and services. Widgets that can be added to your iPhone’s lock screen are currently only available through Apple’s own apps, but this may change in the future.
A widget can cover the lock screen weather on an iPhone. Above the clock on your iPhone’s lock screen, you can use a variety of preconfigured Widgets to display information such as the time zone, the alarm you’ve set, the next event on your calendar, the weather, your activity circles, the next reminder and the action you have selected.
On the lock screen, you can also place Widgets below the digital clock. Batteries, Calendar, Clock, Fitness, Reminders, Stocks, and Time are some of the things you can put here. You can add up to four square widgets with symbols below the time, or you can add up to two rectangular widgets with more information, or you can combine two square widgets with one rectangular widget.
