BY NOW, YOU will be used to the fresh look of iOS 26, but you don’t have to stick with Apple’s default settings. In fact, Apple would like you to flex your creative muscles and personalize your experience. It’s why it has developed more customization options than ever — when used well, they can truly separate your iPhone from the crowd.
In this tutorial, we’re going to focus on the many changes you can make to the Lock Screen — the display that you see when you wake your device. Here, you can play around with your images by altering their color scheme or by transforming them into layered photos that move when you tilt your device. You can change the size and look of the clock, move some elements, and reposition images so that you’re focusing on certain sections. In many ways, you’re limited only by your imagination.
