Customize the Color of Your iPhone Lock Screen in iOS 16: Hands-On Guide
To let you easily customize the color of your iPhone Lock Screen, Apple offers a dedicated wallpaper titled (you guessed it) “Color”. So, whether you want to go for a Bondi blue or opt for a funky yellow, you can do it all; and much more.
- First off, unlock your iPhone using Face ID or Touch ID.
- Now, press and hold on to the Lock Screen to access the wallpaper gallery, and then hit the “+” button at the bottom right corner of the screen. Note:
Alternatively, head over to the Settings app on your iPhone > Wallpaper > Customize button under the Lock Screen preview and choose the Add New Wallpaper option in the menu.
- Tap on the Colour button that appears in the top row of options.
- Next, you can use the background color window to change the hue. Simply choose a preferred color switch to change the color. For better control, use the color slider at the bottom of the window. And if you want to take it to the next level, tap on the color palette at the top left corner of the window. After that, you can mix and match with tools like the grid, spectrum, and sliders to perfectly fine-tune the color to your heart’s liking. Then, tap on the X button at the top right corner of the window to close it.
- To switch between different themes like solid, bright, tone, vibrant, deep, and vapor, swipe left or right on the screen.
- Up next, you can make the most of all the Lock Screen widgets and different fonts to further customize your wallpaper. Once you have fine-tuned everything, tap on the Done button at the top right corner of the screen. Read more: How to Blur Home Screen on iPhone in iOS 16
- Now, you get the option to either set this wallpaper as a pair for both the Lock Screen and Home Screen or customize the Home Screen separately. In the end, tap on this newly created wallpaper in the gallery to set it up straight away. And that’s about it!
