A new update is here to enhance your iPhone experience. iOS 16, which will be available later this year as a free software update for iPhone 8 and later, introduces the biggest update ever to the Lock Screen, and new sharing, communication, and intelligence features that together change the way you experience iPhone. iOS 16 features iCloud Shared Photo Library to seamlessly share a collection of photos with family, updates to Messages and Mail that help you stay in touch with ease, and powerful enhancements to Live Text and Visual Look Up. iOS 16 also offers support for passwordless sign-in with passkeys, and features like Safety Check, a new safety tool that can be helpful to users whose personal safety is at risk from domestic or intimate partner violence by allowing them to quickly remove all access they've granted to others.

1 Reimagined Lock Screen

The Lock Screen gets more personal, beautiful, and helpful with iOS 16. iOS 16 update allows you to personalize your Lock Screen and make the subject of your photo pop. With a new multilayered effect, the subjects of photos are artfully set in front of the time on the Lock Screen, creating a sense of depth. There is also an option to change the look of the date and time with expressive font styles and color choices. In addition, you can apply styles to photos- set for Lock Screen-that automatically change the color filter, tinting and font style to complement your Lock Screen. You can even select a set of photos to shuffle automatically on your Lock Screen throughout the day. Set the cadence for how often your Lock Screen updates with a new photo, or let iOS surprise and delight you throughout the day.
