The iPhone 14 Series is finally here, and it comes with the iOS 16 Update, which brings many customization options. You can easily use these customization options on your iPhone 8 or higher. To get the ultimate in customization, let’s check this video out. Here we go.

Portrait Wallpaper

This is the very first customization, starting with the lock screen. For this long, press on your device’s lock screen, and it will open the Collection panel. Swipe right to Add New there, and you will find various suggestions with pre-designed lock screens.

The new Photos selection at the top is highlighted; tap on it and choose an image. Next, choose the depth effect option in the bottom-right corner of the screen. To adjust, pinch and zoom, and once you are satisfied, you can choose a filter by swiping right. If your image is a portrait photo, you have more filters, including a color backdrop. After tweaking, click on Done to save.

Depending on your Lockscreen, you have different unlock animations, but that’s not it; in the Lockscreen Customisation settings, you have another cool feature called Photo Shuffle. Choose a combination of wallpapers and apply the filter; at the end, select a period or touch to change the wallpaper.

Home Screen Wallpaper

After applying Lockscreen Wallpaper, you have the Set as Wallpaper Pair option. Click on it, and there are tonnes of customization options. You can use blur, solid, or gradient colors. Choose another photo. Like the Lockscreen Portrait wallpaper, you can swipe right to filter the wallpaper further.

Moving wallpaper

This animation wallpaper gives a shuttle experience from unlocking to the home screen. Currently, it’s limited to the Earth, the Moon, and the Solar System, which work in real-time. You can even use weather wallpaper, which works with what’s happening in your surroundings.

Emoji Wallpaper

Most creative. All you need to do is select the emojis you want, and next, choose the grid, which includes the Small, Medium, and Spiral grid options. You also have the option to select a background color from the bottom-right corner. It also works as your main wallpaper on the home screen; if you want to apply it, just use the set as wallpaper pair option.

Colour Wallpaper

This is super simple. Choose your background colour, and it will look fantastic. Many options include fragrance, deep, vapor, bright, and solid color; play around until it fits your style.

Clock and Lockscreen Widget

To edit your clock, tap on the clock and choose fonts and colors according to your references. Try to match your wallpaper. You can make an exciting color combination by talking about the lock screen widget. You can add widgets like battery status and alarms. To add, click on the Add widget and select from the options. You can adjust based on your style.

It is helpful because you can tap on the widget, and it will instantly open the app without unlocking the lock screen. Apps like Clock and Music will now have full control of your lock screen. In addition, you can also assign the wallpaper and lock screen based on your focus mode.

Battery percentage

Open device settings, head over to battery and toggle to enable battery percentage.

Haptic feedback

Open Device Settings, and head over to Sounds & Haptics. Scroll down to find keyboard feedback and enable Haptic.
