If you haven’t tried this iPhone’s lock screen widget feature introduced in iOS 16, you must. It’s awesome.
Have you updated your iPhone to the latest iOS 16 update? If not, you are missing out on an amazing feature that can make your iPhone lock screen even more helpful. Last year Apple released iOS 16.1 and with it iPhone users got a brand new widget. It’s called Live Activity and it provides real-time information on ongoing events and keeps you updated in various other ways. Whether it’s live sports scores or real-time weather updates, widgets put all the information at your fingertips. However, if you haven’t updated your iPhone to iOS 16, you won’t be able to use the latest updates.
