Whether you want to switch to the Always On Display on your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro series models, or if the physical power button is not working correctly, you can take advantage of the new shortcut to trigger the lock screen on your iPhone. Here’s how you can use the lock screen shortcuts on iPhone running iOS 16.4 or newer. Last year, Apple brought a number of changes to the iPhone lock screen with iOS 16 and Always On Display on the iPhone 14 Pro models. And that’s not all, Apple is still refining the lock screen. With iOS 17, Apple enhanced the clock fonts, added some new wallpapers to the wallpaper gallery, introduced the new Standby Mode, and more. Back to the topic, when you activate the iOS 17 lock screen shortcut, it will either activate Always On Display (in the case of iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro), blacken the screen, or even activate the new Standby Mode if your iPhone is on MagSafe wireless charger. Obviously, it will also lock your iPhone and you easily activate the shortcut. Now let’s take a look at how you can use iOS 17 lock screen shortcuts.
