When iOS 16 (fave.co/ 3BziW1V) is released this people use their iPhones.

These five features in particular will become a part of the way millions of people use their iPhones every single day. They're so useful, or just so integrated into the basic iPhone experience, that they're likely to quickly become a staple of the iPhone experience the sort of thing we just come to associate with the platform.
CUSTOM LOCK SCREENS
After you update to iOS 16, you'll be greeted by this massive change every time you pick up your iPhone-even before you unlock it.
The new Lock Screen is customizable and attractive, and has more useful information than ever. And with the awesome photo treatments, linked Focus modes, and Photo Shuffle, it's going to dynamically change throughout the day, too.

Your Lock Screen's transformation into a truly personalizable, useful piece of smartphone real estate is a sea change. Check out all of the ways that you can customize your Lock Screen (fave.co/3Sp3EmA) before you get it on your iPhone-and trust us, you will never want to go back.
