We know that the level of customization on iOS is not as deep as on Android. However, thanks to small tips or tricks, it is possible to make changes to the iPhone as we do in these systems. Times are changing and now it is also possible to customize the home screen and lock screen, from the display mode to adding widgets and changing the font and color of the time. Today we are sharing the following trick to help you add personalized text to your lock screen. While this is happening, Can you think of the sentence you will use?

To achieve this trick we will use the Focus function

If you have an iPhone with iOS 16 or later, it will be possible to use the Focus function to perform this trick. Focus lets you customize your iPhone experience with apps, notifications, widgets, etc. Note that there is a function that helps you personalize your phone so that you only use your iPhone for a specific routine or task. You can configure different approaches to disable notifications from personal use to work and of course if you want to disconnect from everyone.

You won’t need to create a full approach to put a custom expression, but you can take this into consideration in case you want to configure a custom one or start using this function. For our example in this article Let’s create a new approach in the fewest steps possible.

Likewise, if you only need the emoticon on certain days, be sure to personalize the days you want it. Finally, It is also possible to do this while in a specific location..
