How to Customize Controls on Your iPhone Lock Screen [VIDEO]

Apple has shared a new video on its YouTube support channel, detailing how you can customize the controls at the bottom of your iPhone’s Lock Screen.

With iOS 18, you can swap out the default Torch and Camera controls on the Lock Screen for other options, like the Calculator when you’re shopping or the Translate app when you’re traveling.

You can also remove these controls entirely or have different controls on different Lock Screens. Simply follow these steps:

1. Touch and hold the Lock Screen until the Customize and Add New buttons appear at the bottom of the screen.
2. If they don’t appear, touch and hold the Lock Screen again, then enter your passcode.
3. Tap Customize, then tap Lock Screen.
4. Tap the Remove button on one of the controls at the bottom of the screen, then tap the Add Quick Action button to open the controls gallery.
5. Tap a control in the controls gallery to replace the one on your Lock Screen.
6. When you finish customizing the controls at the bottom of the Lock Screen, tap Done at the top of the screen, then tap the Lock Screen.

You can also customize the controls at the bottom of a Lock Screen, then link a specific Focus to that Lock Screen that makes use of those controls. Watch the following video to learn more.
