Title: Apps That Have Added iOS 16 Lock Screen Widget Support Post by: HCK on September 13, 2022, 04:05:03 pm Apps That Have Added iOS 16 Lock Screen Widget Support
Apple in iOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-16/) introduced a customizable Lock Screen, complete with widgets. You can have up to five separate widgets on your Lock Screen, including four below the time and one above the time. There are several widgets available from Apple for apps like Weather, Calendar, Clock, Fitness, and Reminders, but third-party app developers are also able to create widgets for the Lock Screen. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/06/widgets-ios-16-feature.jpg) We've rounded up a bunch of third-party apps that have implemented widget support as of today, so you can see some of the widget options available to you. Note that if you're planning on getting an iPhone 14 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-14-pro/), widgets will be available even when your screen is off thanks to the Always-On display. <h2 id="flighty">Flighty (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1358823008)</h2> Flight tracking app Flighty offers several different widget options. You can see a countdown to your trip before you go, and when you're ready to travel, you can see your gate code, seat number, and take off time. When the flight's in the air, you can see an in-flight progress bar, and then when you land, you can view your arrival gate, weather, and baggage carousel information.
