Any changes to the lock screen?

[Pagemakers]

Have Apple made any changes to the lock screen? By that, I mean this below...

There is so much wa space here.

Does iOS 14 allow widgets on this page so important at-a-glance data could be displayed without logging in?

As in the lock screen?

 

[Pagemakers]

Yes the lock screen (I’ll edit my post).

I don’t understand why they refuse to let us change those default apps at the bottom at least. Especially the camera, which you can already bring up by swiping. Stupid

I was hoping iOS 14 would allow widgets so you could simply pick up your phone and view information without having to log into your phone. A massive missed opportunity if it can’t be done.

Craig the hair is in charge so you get baby steps.

You can do that with a swipe to the right to see the widgets screen as I recall.

Hmm. I forgot that. Must be getting lazy!

You can, though you do need to unlock via touch/faceid as otherwise the details of the widgets are blanked out, presumably for privacy reasons.

I guess that can perhaps depend on the particular apps that offer the widgets. I can see the same information in the widgets I use if I access them from the lock screen without unlocking my phone as when I access them when my phone is unlocked.

The pre-ios 14 widgets act like that for me but the new ones don't

Interesting. I wonder if that's by design (and if there are some additional new controls around that), or if it's some sort of a in-development/bug sort of thing for the moment.

It does seem like something that may end up with user-facing controls. I couldn't find any for now though.

I'm guessing they're saving "always on display" feature unpacking for iPhone 12.

I hate the camera and light toggles at the bottom. I’m forever accidentally triggering them.

Exactly. Except when you want to use the flashlight or camera, then it takes 5 seconds to get them working.
