One of the better features of the new Focus suite is the ability to tie a specific mode to specific Lock Screens and Home Screens. For instance, I set up Mindfulness mode so that the weather widget is the only thing on the Lock Screen while it’s active. I also chose a premade Home Screen with only a few apps available to tap, though iOS 16 lets you create a custom one as needed—including widgets, too. You can customize this feature through the Focus settings panel or the Lock screen editor.
