iOS 16 Lock Screen Widget Lets You Quickly Open Any App

A new iOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-16/) app lets users open any app of their choice directly from their Lock Screen without ever needing to navigate their iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/).

The app called "Launchify" lets users configure one or more ‌iOS 16‌ Lock Screen widgets that directly open any app of their choosing. Users can create a widget to quickly open Messages, Twitter, the Phone app, or Apple or Google Maps, for example.



While ‌iOS 16‌ includes a redesigned Lock Screen with new customization features, Apple does not allow users to replace the flashlight and Camera app shortcuts with custom apps. Users can, however, customize a wide range of visual elements on the Lock Screen, including the font and color of the time, custom wallpapers with a depth effect, and more.



Launchify is available for free on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/in/app/launchify-lock-screen-widgets/id1635545328) but features an in-app subscription that enables more advanced features, such as adding more than one app shortcut on the Lock Screen.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: iOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-16/), iPadOS 16 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipados-16/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iOS 16 (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-16.238)</div>
