NEW LOCKSCREEN WITH WIDGETS IS COMING TO APPLE IOS 16

Wed 01 June 2022:

Apple’s upcoming iOS 16 upgrade is expected to include improvements such as a revamped lockscreen with widgets, as well as updated Messages and Health apps.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new software upgrade will benefit app developers who support widgets because it will allow them to woo users’ attention in a high-profile position on iPhone.

Apple will pay special attention to its lockscreen this time, and will support wallpapers with widget-like functionality.

The tech giant may be considering to merge left of the homescreen — the “Today View” with its lineup of widgets — directly into the lockscreen itself.

The updated lockscreen could come with an always-on display, similar to Apple Watch.

Other features with iOS 16 include an updated Messages app with more “social networking-like functionality” and the Health app will also be updated.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (9WWDC) will begin on June 6 and will be attended by over 30 million Apple developers from around the world.

Developers and designers can learn about the latest technologies, tools, and frameworks for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS at WWDC22.

Developers will be able to speak directly with Apple engineers and designers in labs and Digital Lounges throughout the week for advice on creating unique and platform-differentiating apps and games.
