Personalization of the lock screen (Lock Screen)
Perhaps the most important new feature of iOS 16 is the ability to personalize the lock screen with layered wallpapers, widgets, custom fonts for the date and time, and more. You can also select a set of photos to be randomly displayed on the Lock Screen throughout the day.

In iOS 16, a full-screen music player is once again presented, which is displayed on the Lock Screen with a large album image and the same color wallpaper.
