The iOS 16 lock screen has created a buzz after launching. Many took the chance to customize it with their styles, not to mention the lock screen widgets that help get you to be more productive in some ways. With that said, Google has also announced a series of lock screen widgets for iPhone users.
The widgets will be available for Google Search, Chrome, Drive, Google Maps, Gmail, and Google News. Furthermore, since iOS 16 only allows the widgets to get placed at certain spots under the clock and have to be all white, Google has to play along. Therefore, the widgets announced by Google are uniformly small and, of course, white in colour.
