Once you have linked a Lock Screen wallpaper to a Focus profile, the selected wallpaper comes into action whenever you activate the Focus profile. From what I can tell, this is a well-thought-out feature for a fully personalized experience.
Step 1. To get started, open the Settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2. Now, tap on Focus.
Step 3. Next, select the Focus profile that you would like to customize.
Step 4. Under the Customize Screens section, select the Lock Screen.
Step 5. Next up, you can create a new Lock Screen wallpaper or select from already available Lock Screen wallpapers.
Step 6. Once you have chosen a desired wallpaper, quit the Settings app and you are good to go!
That’s all there is to it! Going forward, whenever you enable this Focus profile, your chosen lock screen wallpaper will become active. Perfect for the times when you are meditating, working out in the gym, or having a peaceful time.
Of course, you can follow the same steps to link more lock screen wallpapers with all of your favorite Focus profiles.
