The lock screen on your iPhone has remained the same for the better part of the last decade, but with iOS 16, Apple has rolled out a bunch of changes to it, allowing you to customize what displays on your iPhone when it’s locked. The new lock screen UI in iOS 16 brings visual changes, like the new clock that you can change the color and font of, along with wallpapers that give you a cool depth effect.

One of the new features arriving here is the addition of widgets, which you can not only add to your Home Screen and Today View, but also use on your iPhone’s Lock Screen. Apple offers a bunch of native Lock Screen widgets, but there are also widgets from a variety of third-party apps, all of which can be viewed and accessed right from your iOS 16 Lock Screen.

Like widgets on your Home screen and the Today view, Lock Screen widgets run in the background to retrieve data and provide you with periodic updates. Because of this, Lock Screen widgets, like other widgets, require additional battery resources to run passively, though not as much as apps you're actively using. You may see a decrease in battery life compared to preview builds of iOS if you've added widgets to your Lock Screen.
