With iOS 18 , Apple has given users even more control to personalize their lock screen.

The iPhone’s lock screen isn’t just the place you check the time or notifications anymore — it’s a fully customizable space where you can express your personality.

You can set a favorite picture as your wallpaper and tweak its color or crop to make sure you have the best view of your loved ones.

You also have the option to Add Widgets and remove the Flashlight and camera.

In iOS 18 , Apple lets you personalize the quick access buttons at the bottom of the lock screen.

You can set different controls for different lock screens and tie them to specific Focus modes.

If you’ve created a few lock screens, you can swap between them on the fly.
