You don’t need a new iPhone 14 to get some of Apple’s newest iPhone features. Apple will allow customization of lock screens with its new software update, which rolls out Monday to owners of the iPhone 8 and newer devices.
The consumer-electronics giant launches its latest operating system on Monday, giving users their first crack at new software functions that the company teased back in June. The software update will be available to owners of the iPhone 8 and newer models.While Apple AAPL, +4.05% has allowed users to choose their phone backgrounds, the iOS 16 software update holds the company’s first attempt at letting them customize their lock screens.
Though iPhone owners are used to seeing notifications crowd their lock screens, Apple is changing the way that notifications appear so that people don’t lose sight of what else is on the screen. The new notifications interface will cascade through the bottom of the screen. Users will be able to add real-life stickers, of sorts, through iMessages, by leveraging a new Visual Look Up feature in photos that lets people select the subject of a picture and create a virtual cut-out of it.
Apple has also created a new Shared Photo Library so that people can more easily compile photos of loved ones and “relive more complete family moments.”
