You just updated to iOS 16 and we can’t say we blame you. It’s packed with great new features, and the custom lock screen is one of those things that’s sure to please even the most casual user.
If you really want to get the most out of it, you’ll want to put some cool widgets in there so you can see the information that matters most to you and have easy shortcuts to your favorite apps. Here are a few dozen great apps that already support lock screen widgets to help you get started on your iOS 16 journey.
For the DIY crowd
When iOS 14 allowed you to customize your home screen with custom widgets, layouts, and icons, a number of apps and icon packs appeared to help you create your own custom home screen widgets. Many of them have been updated to allow you to make your own lock screen widgets. Some of them display selected information, others give you one-tap shortcuts to specific contacts, message threads, locations, or even the ability to launch shortcuts you’ve created.
Weather apps
It’s no wonder so many weather apps are quickly being updated to provide lock screen widgets. This is exactly the information you’d like to see at a glance without even unlocking your iPhone.
Health and fitness
Health and fitness apps are another great candidate for lock screen information. Track your calories, start a workout, see how much you slept last night.
Productivity
Email, to-do lists, calendars, contacts, and more. Sometimes you want information at a glance, other times you want a quick, one-touch way to get to an app you use often. Lock screen widgets can provide both.
Travel and tracking
Your lock screen is the perfect place to get an update on your flight status or track that important package you got on the way.
Other applications
There are many iOS 16 lock screen widget apps that don’t fit neatly into the categories above. It’s our go-to product for everything from social media to recipe apps.
