Apple added a customizable and editable Lock Screen with widgets in iOS 16. You can have a maximum of five distinct widgets added to your iPhone’s Lock Screen, including 4 widgets beneath the time and 1 widget above it. Apple provides widgets for apps such as Calendar, Clock, Weather, Reminders, and Fitness, but even the various third-party app developers can create widgets for the Lock Screen.
We have compiled a list of third-party applications that have integrated widget support as of today so that you can view the widget possibilities available to you. Note that if you intend to purchase an iPhone 14 Pro, widgets will be accessible even while the screen is off, courtesy of the Always-On display.
Flighty
Flight monitoring application Flighty offers multiple widget configurations. Before your flight, you can view a countdown, and when you’re ready to board, you can view your gate code, seat number, and departure time. You can access your in-flight progress indicator while the aircraft is in the air; and you can even view your accurate gate of arrival, weather at your destination, and your baggage’s carousel information upon your landing.
Facebook iOS 16
The widgets on Facebook allow you to view your friends’ birthdays and the most recent updates from the people you follow.
Plant Daddy
Plant Daddy is a modern app that allows you to care for your plants by scheduling on your lock screen, through a widget- the entire information regarding your plant’s care, along with reminders for planting them. Most importantly, unlike other apps, it doesn’t force upon you typical care suggestions for your plants, rather allows you to create personalized plant notes for yourself!
Apollo iOS 16
The Reddit app called Apollo has recently added additional entertaining widgets from which to choose. There is a widget that takes you directly to trending topics, as well as a distance-scrolled widget, a quirky one called karma widget, and an inbox widget that displays the number of unread messages. There are additional widgets that display the performance of your latest post or remark, as well as the opportunity to navigate onto a favorite or even a random new subreddit.
Fantastical
By using Fantastical’s Lock Screen widget, you can display for yourself on your lock screen, a tiny calendar and upcoming events. Fantastical even supports iOS 16’s Focus Filters feature.
