Create a custom iPhone Lock Screen

You can personalize your Lock Screen by choosing a wallpaper, showcasing a favorite photo, changing the font of the time, adding widgets, and more.

You can create more than one Lock Screen, switch between Lock Screens, and even link a Lock Screen to a Focus. So, for example, you could set a specific Lock Screen for when you’re working.

Personalize a new Lock Screen

  1. Press the side button on your iPhone twice to go to the Lock Screen.

  2. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize and buttons appear at the bottom of the screen.

    If they don’t appear, touch and hold the Lock Screen again, then enter your passcode.

  3. Tap to create a new Lock Screen, or to make changes to a Lock Screen, swipe to the screen you want to change, tap Customize, then tap Lock Screen.
