Apple finally lets you change the two apps or features available on the iPhone lock screen: Here’s how to do it in iOS 18 beta 1.
I installed iOS 18 beta 1 on my iPhone 14 Pro the minute Apple released it, even though the device will never get Apple AI features. iOS 18 offers a variety of handy features that I wanted to try right away, and that includes more customization options.
Rumors said that Apple would finally let iPhone users change the app layout on the Home Screen and place apps anywhere they feel like. Apple delivered on that promise. You can change the color of all app icons to match the wallpaper, and the Control Center got a massive makeover.
But you know what else is new in iOS 18? You can finally change the app shortcuts on the Lock Screen and set them to whatever you need. It’s incredibly easy to do it, too, and Apple now lets you place a variety of shortcuts on the Lock Screen. I’ll show you how easy it is to do it below.
First, you’ll need iOS 18 on your iPhone. The first beta is stable, and I won’t revert to iOS 17. Everything works pretty well, and I’ve only encountered a few bugs.
