Prepare main screen The most important part of the iPhone when it comes to customization, and Apple provides us with more options for customization in the iOS 16 update. In the iOS 15 update, you can actually hide apps and hide entire pages from your home screen. You can also change app icons using shortcuts. And you can set the wallpapers to change automatically based on the time and the current dark or light theme. And you still have all of these options in iOS 16, plus more features you can customize on the Home screen now. There are some important changes that are important to know until the iOS 16 update is released to the public with the launch of the new iPhone in November.
Spotlight search has become the home page score
The iOS 16 update replaces the page dots above the dock on your home screen with a new Spotlight search bubble. Clicking it does the same thing as scrolling down the home screen page. And like Page Points, you can swipe left or right in the search bubble to speed up scrolling through other Home screen pages.
Long-pressing or tapping on the bubble in the home screen editor will open the page selector to show or hide pages.
Do you know why Apple did
You can restore page points
If you like the old page score and prefer to swipe down to show Spotlight search or use, you can get the score back. Go to Settings → Home Screen, then turn off the new Show Spotlight option.
Spotlight search bar above the keyboard
Following in Safari's footsteps, the search bar is right above the keyboard every time you open a Spotlight search on your home screen, and when you scroll through the results, the bar goes to the bottom of the screen when the keyboard is gone.
New widget for books application
For some reason, Apple never made a widget for the Books app. But in the iOS 16 update, you can add the new Books widget to your home screen or the Today view. The little widget displays the current book you're reading and your daily goal. It shows the percentage of your reading progress. The large widget also displays the days of the week.
Wallpapers automatically match the lock screen
One of the highlights of the iOS 16 update allows you to customize your lock screen with a different wallpaper for every occasion. With each lock screen wallpaper, you can choose between font type, color theme, and add widgets.
When you add a new lock screen wallpaper from the lock screen or via Settings → Wallpaper → Add new wallpaper, the Home screen wallpaper will automatically match it.
Cool emojis and colors for wallpapers
When you change the lock screen wallpaper, you can choose a repeating emoji or a combination of them in different grid patterns. Additionally, the Color option allows you to choose any solid color and apply a gradient effect such as glossy, blurry, dark, tonal, and pulsating.
And since the default home screen wallpaper is the same as the new lock screen wallpaper, you can use these options for your home screen wallpaper as well.
There are automatic wallpapers too
To make your iPhone change wallpapers automatically in iOS 15, you have to set up a shortcut for that from the Shortcuts app, but this is no longer required if you want to switch between your photos, weather, or astronomy updates, and you can set it when you select the lock screen wallpaper , and it will also be your home screen wallpaper unless you change it manually through Settings → Wallpaper.
You can change the associated wallpapers
If you don't like having the same lock screen and home screen wallpaper at the same time, you can make them different just like before. Go to Settings → Wallpapers, tap the home screen image, and choose another option, such as color shade, gradient, or image. After clicking Done, this wallpaper is associated with the currently active lock screen wallpaper. So when you switch lock screen wallpapers, they will also use the home screen wallpaper you set them for.
There is a blackout for Apple wallpapers
When you use an Apple wallpaper for your home screen background, you'll see an option in the background editor called Legibility Blur. By default, it's off, but when it's on, the wallpaper is dimmed to put more emphasis on apps, folders, widgets, and other content on your Home screen pages.
You can choose wallpapers of one color
Apple has quite a few solid color or pure color wallpapers, and you always had to find your own picture to use if you wanted a pure color wallpaper on your home screen. Now, the third option from the left in the main screen background editor is the pure color or single color fill. Click "Configure" in the preview image to show pure colors, where you can choose the color and its strength.
Advice: If you want the same color on your home screen and lock screen, you can choose “Color” from the lock screen background picker, select the color, and then swipe to the “Solid” option.
You can choose any color gradient background
If you like a pale color more than a clear color, the second option from the left in the home screen wallpaper editor lets you choose a color gradient. Click "Format" in the preview image to bring up the gradient picker, where you can select the color and strength of the gradient.
Advice: If you want the same solid color gradient on your home screen and lock screen, you can choose “Color” from the lock screen background picker, select your own color, and then swipe to one of the non-clear gradient options. There are more gradient styles here than in the background editor only for the home screen, but “Vibrant” is the closest approach.
Photo backgrounds can be natural or black and white
If you select an image for your home screen background, you can now choose to keep it as "natural" in the background editor or make it "black and white" instead. Swiping to the left changes it to black and white, and swiping to the right returns it to the original image.
Focus lets you choose focused home pages
There are a lot of changes to the focus tool, and one of them gives you home page suggestions when setting focus.
Click Choose for the home screen in the new Customize Screens section, and you'll see page suggestions that remove apps and widgets not associated with this focus. For example, focus at work might only keep apps related to emails, tasks, contacts, automation, stocks, utilities, etc. If none of the suggestions work, scroll down to find the current Home screen pages to switch them to focus.
Only the Home screen pages you chose during the Focus setting will appear on the iPhone when the focus is active. If you don't select any of them while setting the focus, your home screen will remain the same as before.
Certainly, this is not all. It will appear with the days and with the use of other new features, which we will mention later.

iOS 16
Apple did not release an update
Peace be upon you, my greetings to you. I have successfully downloaded the ios16beta update, thank God, and it works very well and has very good and wonderful specifications. I only have a question, please, when the official update is released for everyone, will it reach me normally and will the beta version on my phone not affect it? My phone is an iPhone 12 Pro.
With great thanks and gratitude
When will the new update be released?
The update will be officially released in mid-November
The holder is magnet type, not compressor type
Thank you for a great article. We hope for more from Apple
With the permission of the admin of the blog, I want to get off topic
I have a problem and I want to raise it to you, please help me to solve it
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I noticed after the latest update that the camera works by itself. I mean that the phone takes a screenshot by itself, especially when I am in the car and the phone is on the holder.
This could be because the holder presses the volume and power buttons
The strange thing is that a shortcut to the silent button has not been added in the control panel, like the rest of the features, it is still by pressing from the side of the device ... strange
Simple and not fundamental change in the system
Did the font change in the new update Islam Phone? Why don’t you have a role in this matter in changing the font? Aren’t there Arab programmers in Apple to change the font? I have an iPhone, version ten, and the font in it is very beautiful. We want the font to return to the font of version ten and before it. Because of our great love for our language, we care about the details of the font.
The update is completely useless - you can't customize which app you want to be on the lock screen.
The Control Center is still limited in options - Apple doesn't want to give the user full control over their device😡😡😡😡
That's it, just wait for the apps to start developing for iOS 16
I wish there were updates in the customization on the home screen and a more interactive widget than the current situation, updates that provide ease of use and new ways of use, especially in interacting with the home screen. And also updates to the camera application to take advantage of the capabilities of the mobile camera to the fullest.
I hope to add the like button at the end of each article 👍🏻 as well as the dislike button 😂👎🏻 through it you will get the percentage of satisfaction and interaction 🌹
I am an iPhone user from the first generation to this moment, but nothing in iOS 16 has impressed me!! All these unfortunate lock screen movements are present in Android devices and even more beautifully. There is no difference from the previous versions!
Thanks for the great article 🌹
Since time immemorial, customization has been present in previous systems.
Even until 2022, Apple has done a very small part of the customization, and the hype is floating as if what it did made us forget about the plagues is something unprecedented.
Of course, the media inflated the Apple like a balloon.
Honestly, I didn't like the update
I feel overrated in putting so many modifications and customizations! In the end her fate will be forgotten! I wish I could rely on third-party apps for live wallpapers!
We expected the camera to improve, but unfortunately it remained the same. Although I have an iPhone 12 Pro, I do not use its camera because it is very poor and the night mode is not clear to use, so I use the Huawei Mate 20 Pro camera. Its camera is very wonderful.
Apple's updates are always ridiculous and truly ridiculous. You're talking about screen dots and emojis. This is really shameful.
Fonts I don't like on the lock screen!!
Also, the widget is still the same retardation and there has been no change in it
Please tell me what is the benefit of the shortcut program, as I did not find it useful, and I tried to make use of it, to no avail.
You can do a lot with it, and you can only enter the gallery in the Shortcuts program to see some examples, some of which are detailed specifically for your use
Go to YouTube and write an explanation of the application of shortcuts, and you will see thousands of clips explaining the advantages of the application.
Is it possible to download the trial version?
I'm not a fan of these features that don't interest me, ready to experiment but I doubt they are even important.
The new system was talked about by the apple at length, and it seems to me that there is nothing to my liking, neither the widget, nor the weather, nor the screen swaying with primitive lines.
Waiting for a real creative station to stand and celebrate then.
I hope that the line changes because it is very bad, or at least it remains in such a line for those who want..
Nice, but is Apple still not and will not think about the possibility of choosing an animation for the home screen??!
Is she still rejecting it and has no intention of adding it?!
This is frustrating for me when I see my sister who has a Samsung phone (Android) and she can put a moving wallpaper on her screen, but I can't because I have an iPhone and I wait for the feature to be implemented in every update, but it hasn't been implemented yet, even after Apple added features to the home screen!
But the update is beautiful as a whole!
iPhone 14 max with IOS16 =🔥
I want to update 16 and it is excellent
