How to Create a Custom iPad Lock Screen [VIDEO]

A new support video published by Apple on its YouTube channel shows how you can customize your iPad Lock Screen with photos or add widgets to keep current information at your fingertips.

You can personalize your iPad’s Lock Screen by choosing a wallpaper, showcasing a favorite photo, changing the font of the time, adding widgets, and more.

Apple also allows users to create more than one Lock Screen, switch between Lock Screens, and even link a Lock Screen to a Focus. So, for example, you could set a specific Lock Screen for when you’re working.

To create a custom iPad Lock Screen:

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until Customize and the Add New button appear at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap the Add New button to create a new Lock Screen, or to make changes to a Lock Screen, swipe to the screen you want to change, tap Customize, then tap Lock Screen.
3. If you’re creating a new Lock Screen, tap one of the wallpaper options to select it as your Lock Screen. If you choose Photos or Photo Shuffle, see Customize your Lock Screen photo.
4. Tap the time to change the font, color, and style. Drag the slider to make the font heavier or lighter (available for solid fonts). To change the time, see Change the date and time on iPad.
5. To add widgets that include information such as today’s headlines, the weather, and calendar events, tap Add Widgets or the date.
6. Tap Add or Done, then tap Set as Wallpaper Pair or Customize Home Screen.
