You Can Also Change Your Lock Screen Shortcuts

Apple also bought expanded customizability to other places in iOS 18. For instance, you can customize your Control Center to place and layout controls however you like.

However, users have long wanted the ability to change the controls at the bottom of the Lock Screen. As things stand in iOS 17, you’re stuck with the Flashlight and Camera controls. Sure, there were a few workarounds to customize them slightly, but they weren’t really worth it.

However, iOS 18 will let you add any control or shortcut you want here. You can even add third-party apps — including alternative camera apps — making it easier to access your favorite apps from the Lock Screen.
