You’ve got several options to choose from, with various views of not only Earth but the Moon and even the entire solar system to choose from. The only catch? There aren’t any customisation options aside from adding widgets.Īstronomy is similar to Weather in that it’ll automatically update throughout the day depending on time and location, except this view takes you into space.

Much like the weather app itself, it’ll be sunny, cloudy, rainy or thundery on the Lock Screen depending on the current weather, complete with fun animations. Weather is a very cool Lock Screen as the look entirely depends on the current weather in your area. You can also change the colour of the background behind the emoji with preselected colours or a colour wheel. It’ll automatically change the image on a set interval, be it on tap, on wake, hourly or daily, for an ever-changing Lock Screen experience.Įmoji allows you to create an emoji-inspired Lock Screen wallpaper using up to six of your favourite emoji, with five different layouts providing a unique look. You’ve got the option of manually selecting up to 20 images if you’d rather have a more curated experience. Photos will display portrait shots, while Photo Shuffle displays images from different categories including People, Pets and Nature. Photos & Photo Shuffle is very much like the People layout, except it also includes images of landscapes, textures and other cool shots from your photo library that Apple’s onboard AI thinks could make a good Lock Screen wallpaper. You can also add a colour effect to the background while leaving the subject unchanged with Colour Backdrop, or you can add studio and black-and-white finishes for a more subtle effect.

If the layout of the image is just right, the time will be displayed behind the subject for added depth.

People, as the name suggests, will display images of people you’ve snapped on your Lock Screen, with an excellent depth effect that brings the subject of the photo into the foreground. Let’s break down the various options available. Once you tap the + icon, you’ll be taken to Apple’s all-new wallpaper editing interface, giving you the choice of various styles of Lock Screen as well as a few curated by Apple itself.
