Google says Lock Screen widgets will be available in the “coming weeks” as its iPhone apps are gradually updated in the App Store. Widgets allow users to quickly launch Google apps from the lock screen and provide real-time information at a glance:

Google: Start a search via text, voice or camera Gmail: See the number of messages in your inbox Chrome: Start a search, including by voice or in incognito mode Google Drive: Quick access to starred files and folders Google Maps: See real-time traffic updates and estimated travel times to places you travel often, like home and work Google News: See the headlines in real time

Note that the Google search widget does not allow you to directly complete a search on the lock screen and simply opens the app. A key new feature of iOS 16 is the ability to personalize the lock screen with widgets, multi-layered wallpapers, custom date and time fonts, and more. You can also choose a set of photos to shuffle on the lock screen throughout the day. The new Lock Screen Gallery presents a number of Lock Screen options, including a new Weather wallpaper with live weather conditions and an Astronomy wallpaper that provides views of the Earth, Moon and Solar System. iOS 16 includes support for multiple lock screen designs, allowing you to switch between your favorites with a swipe.
