Trying to add my email and phone number to the lock screen
I thought this would be really simple. But I digress. My thinking was to add my email address and a phone number to the lock screen on my iPhone. My phone is obviously protected with a passcode, so if I lose it (in some good neighborhood) and whoever finds it wants to return it, they should be...- dc2000

Why no volume control on lock screen (iOS 16.3)?
So, in iOS 14 and 15, there are two sliders on playing media on the lock screen (Volume and Scrubbing). In iOS 16, that went away, and I'm kind of upset. it was super convenient for when I don't have the time to unlock my phone using FaceID or use the volume buttons. Anyone know why it went away?- CalebEdenburn

Lock Screen Notifications Show Up Rectangle Not Rounded
So this started with 16. Lock screen notifications show up with squared off ends and then refresh to rounded ends after a couple seconds. I was hoping this would have been fixed with the update but it was not. A minor annoyance. This seems to happen after the phone has been asleep for a bit... -

Flashlight and Camera gone from lockscreen - iOS 16 - iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022
The title sums it up. My flashlight is fully functional, and shows up in the control center just fine. But no more button (for the camera either) on the lock screen. It's been like this since day 1 on the iOS 16 update. Can't figure out what I'm missing, or if they simply removed them for... -

Display Notifications as Count Not Working with Reminders — Bug?
Settings > Notifications > Display As: Count This setting does not appear to be affecting my Reminders app notifications. They still appear at the bottom of my Lock Screen. With this setting enabled, all notifications should be confined to the count button until I tap on it. Is this a known bug? -

Can’t choose a Lock Screen without focus changing it back???
So it turns out that if you have more than one Lock Screen and choose any of them besides the first one, it will automatically revert to the first one every time you switch focus on or off. This is crazy. I honestly thought the whole point of being able to create different lock screens would be... -

Separate Wallpapers for Lock Screen and Home Screen
Every previous version of iOS let me have a photo for my lock screen and a wallpaper theme for my home screen. With iOS 16, I cannot do this -- if I choose a photo for my lock screen, the photo becomes my home screen as well (with minor customizations available). This is a step backwards. I'm... -
Lock Screen Widgets - Almost useless?
Is it only me or did I expect these new Lock Screen Widgets to be much better? They look kind of crapy and you can't see much. You either get 4 small circles or 2 slightly larger squares. Yes, there is some info that wasn't there before but it looks pretty underwhelming. I expected that you will...- akidokraja

iPhone X Wifi disconnects while on sleep mode
Since I updated to iOS 13, my iPhone has begun to disconnect to the wifi when it's locked. When I tap the screen to wake, I see my wifi symbol for like half a second, then it shows 4G, and then after a second or 2, it is once again connected to wifi. The issue is that this eliminates me using...
