Yes, you read that right, the classic iPhone<\/a> lock screen thanks to iOS 16 is getting a makeover! Users will now be able to customise font styles to taste, showcase their favourite photos to permanently appear and select custom widgets to spice up their lock screen even further! You\u2019ll also be able to create multiple lock screens with different backgrounds and themes which you can easily flick between depending on your mood. If you\u2019re not the most creative person, and you need inspiration don\u2019t worry a selection of fun premade-themed collections is also up for grabs! We can tell that this update will be a fan favourite, who doesn\u2019t love their lock screen to fit more of their personality? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit iMessages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iPhone users have all experienced that traumatic moment where you\u2019ve typed an iMessage too quickly, hit send and realised it\u2019s riddled with spelling mistakes. Well with the new iOS 16 update you\u2019ll now be able to edit the iMessages you\u2019ve sent – what a God send! Additionally to this, you\u2019ll now be able to mark messages as unread if you can\u2019t respond right there and then, and want to come back to them at a later time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapid Security Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s time for the serious stuff – the security changes. With the new Rapid Security Response feature, your iPhone will now receive regular important security improvements in between normal software updates. Staying up to date and protection against security issues has now been made easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Pay Recipients <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, when you purchase something using Apple Pay you can only get an overview of the amount you spent, the retailer’s name and the status of the payment. However, with the iOS 16 update, you\u2019ll now be able to view detailed full receipts, which include information on what exactly you\u2019ve purchased, the date, the time and the retailer directly in your Wallet. Your standard paper receipt digitalised! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll no longer have to go through the effort of unlocking your iPhone to keep track of things that are happening in real-time. The new Live Activities feature allows you to track things like a football match score or even the progress of your food delivery on your home screen instead – no device unlocking needed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
