Make yourself a few new Lock screens
Now that you’ve installed the iOS 16 beta, you can try out the new customizable Lock Screens. Press and hold down on the Lock Screen to bring up the customization option, then tap the plus sign to make a new one. This will bring you to the full customization menu, which is pretty overwhelming initially because there are so many preconfigured options. They include:
Featured Lock Screens
Weather & Astronomy, which provides live weather and astronomical conditions based on your location
Emoji, which lets you select from up to six emojis with which to make a wallpaper
Collections, which include wallpaper choices provided by Apple
Color, which includes a spectrum of gradients ready to present a vibe
Each Lock Screen option allows you to customize the font for the time and date and add as many widgets as possible within the allotted space, including an activity rings monitor, a sunset timer, and even a battery meter. Once you make a Lock Screen, don’t forget to save it so it’s easy to swap in and out as you see fit.
