![]() We’ve contacted Apple to see whether there’s a way back for Live Photos (and Live Wallpapers for that matter) on the Lock Screen. So if you can, do let me know! After doing some digging online I’ve found this was also gone within the iOS 16 beta, so this isn’t exactly news, but it will be to those who excitedly downloaded iOS 16 when it launched to consumers on Monday September 12. I’ve done a little tinkering around within the operating system and can’t find a way to bring Live Photos back to the Lock Screen. And how many times are people going to launch this by accident. However, how many times are people really going to customise the Lock Screen? 2-3 times playing with different photos and widgets before settling on a combo for regular time and do not disturb? Surely the customisation interface could go within the Wallpaper settings and I can have my Live Photo back?Īpple should be confident enough in this feature to know people will go looking for it, rather than it coming at the detriment of a popular visual feature. It was Apple finally giving users the power to create their own look when, for so long the company’s old guard had insisted what they thought looked best, was best. I wrote about that when Apple revealed the feature at WWDC this year. I love the new Lock Screen customisation options too. Those little touches, none of which are too small to bother with.ĭon’t get me wrong. It was just a little thing, but that’s part of what I love about Apple products. It brought a little smile to the face of this lonely freelancer, and now it’s gone. I loved taking a quick look up from my laptop screen, randomly pressing on the lock screen to see my dog yawning cutely, or my wife and I enjoying a sunset together. I’m pretty gutted about this, to be honest. Now, long pressing on the Lock Screen only brings up the customisation interface that enables iPhone users to add those iOS 16 widgets, change fonts and customise photos with filters and more.
