FIVE LIFE-CHANGING iOS 16 FEATURES YOU'LL USE—AND LOVE—EVERY SINGLE DAY

When iOS 16 (fave.co/ 3BziW1V) is released this  people use their iPhones. No, there aren't any wholesale changes to the entire iPhone interface, so it's not like you'll suddenly have to unlearn the last 10 years of iPhone interface evolution. But there are fall, it's going to change the way hundreds of millions of scores of new features, some big and some rather small (fave.co/3Slpt60), that will come into play nearly every time you pick up your phone.

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.

It used to be that everyone with an iPhone had the same lock screen, only with a different wallpaper, usually obscured by a massive list of notifications. 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.
