In iOS 16.4, Apple took things further by adding new automation and shortcut options. Users can link activation of the always-on display with a Focus mode. And for the first time, it's also possible to activate the Lock Screen with a shortcut, which is what we're going to show you here.
After following the above steps, you'll have a basic functional shortcut, which you can use as a tappable Home screen button to activate the Lock Screen. You can also ask Siri to run the shortcut, or add it to a custom automation.

I'm seeing the same problem, as well as an issue where the phone orientation will occasionally cause only part of the widgit to be visible. Killing the app that was playing music (or video) has no impact on this.
Not only do i see this but when i connect my iPhone to my car via the USB it doesn't display all of the playlists i created and will not let me skip forward through the tracks using the car's controls.
Hard reset seems to be the only thing that works, but then it comes back. I am to the fu**ing boiling point now with this effing bug. Please Apple, fix it. I don't want to have to restart my GD phone 5 times a day because the music widget is on the lock screen.
Yes hard reset seems to be only fix, and that only works until the next time you open podcasts, Pandora, etc., anything that plays audio, then you are back to the same problem. I hope Apple sees this as the annoying bug that it is and not an unwanted "benefit" of the OS.
Having the same issue. It comes on when I turn off my car so I think it might be a bluetooth issue. I rebooted the phone, didn't play any media, and it still appeared on the lock screen. Hope Apple fixes this soon!
Update: I reset my phone and went to a meeting. When I came out, the music player was on my lock screen. No bluetooth, no media was played. It just appeared. My next step is to delete the music app and reinstall it. But I think I'll lose all my playlists. ?
The Shortcuts app on iPhone has plenty of useful shortcuts and automation options. It lets you make your own icon pack, set time for focus modes, covert files, and a lot more. With iOS 16.4, Apple added a new shortcut that lets users add a lock screen shortcut. It gets even better with iOS 17.
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.
To use this feature on your iPhone, you need to update your iPhone to iOS 16.4 or later. Another thing to keep in mind is to update the Shortcuts app to the latest version. If your iPhone is already on the newer software version, you can follow these steps to set up the lock screen shortcut on your iPhone.
IOS 16.4 includes a new shortcut - Lock Screen. As the name suggests, it locks the screen. But, when this shortcut runs, it locks the screen but doesn't turn it off, and hence the screen instantly gets unlocked by face-id.
To turn Raise to Wake on or off, go to Settings > Display & Brightness. On iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the Always-On display is turned on by default. Your iPhone will dim the Lock Screen while still displaying helpful information, such as the time, widgets and wallpaper.
I've added this new "Lock the screen" action to the end of my "Going Out" custom shortcut which turns off Wi-Fi, etc. before I leave home. It gives me the opportunity to check that the correct wallpaper containing my contact email will be displayed in case I lose the device. (My "Going Out" shortcut uses the Set Focus action to switch the Lock Screen wallpaper.)
It's not about "Raise to wake" or "Always On". It's about when a user adds the new shortcut "Lock Screen" on the screen and launches it by touching the icon. It will surely lock the screen but face id instantly unlocks it.
I am using iPhone 14 pro. Whenever lock screen comes up on my device, irrespective of how I bring it up, (either by waking up the phone by pressing the side button, or I wake it up by tapping or swiping on the screen), it instantly engages face-id to unlock the phone and unlocks it if I am looking at the screen.
Important: This method only works on devices with Android 12 and up. Some Android phones may not have this feature. To access Google Wallet from the lock screen, you must first add a payment method.
I'm trying to remove the shortcut to "Lock Screen" from the start menu, but I can't seem to find the .desktop file that would be associated with it. Whenever I go to take a screenshot, I type in screen and then enter, with 22.04 there's a new entry on the start menu for lock screen which is apparently a closer match to screen than screenshot. To compensate for this design failure, I would like to remove the shortcut, where would it be located?
Swipe so that your widget screen is visible. Scroll all the way to the bottom and select edit. Scroll down and add the shortcuts to your list of widgets and drag it to the top or where ever you would like it to be position wise.
Caveats: If you open the app unfortunately the reminder will not be shown any longer as a popup. So if you sent multiple reminders you would be best served by either editing ones you still have pending to a future time, or completing them all at once.
I have a keyboard shortcut set for lockscreen - ctrl-shift-F15 but if the finder menu bar is visible, the shortcut doesn't work. This is in El-Capitan on a macbook pro 2015 and I am using an external microsoft natural keyboard 4000.
Without knowing your exact model of Mac and version of macOS, I have a different way for you to achieve the exact same thing without having to create an Automator service and setting a keyboard shortcut.
The custom short cut started working. A few built in shortcuts stopped working like command-space for spotlight search and command-tab for application switching. I had virtualbox machines running but the windows were minimized. After closing the running virtualbox machines - the shortcuts including the custom shortcut started working again. I can only assume that somehow the host key capturing done by the virtualbox machines wasn't correctly returned on application minimization and that by closing the running virtual machines the host key (command) was returned to the host (mac) os.
That makes more sense for the built in host key (command) shortcuts but the custom shortcut that had stopped working only when the finder menu was displayed doesn't use the hostkey. It was ctrl-shift-f15 and why it was only not working when the finder menu was visible is also really odd. The built in shortcuts completely stopped working - though the spotlight search icon from the menu tray continued to function properly.
I would have tried logging out and back in or rebooting if I had suspected that this shortcut had previously worked when the finder menu was active but due to my relative recent switch over to mac I didn't notice that it stopped working - only that it wasn't working.
Hi everybody, just upgraded to Android 13 on my new FP4 and noticed that the shortcuts for the camera and flashlight have disappeared. Anybody having the same issue? And any idea how to get these shortcuts back to lockscreen?
Since updating my FP4 to Android 13 (C.073), the lock screen is missing the camera and phone symbol. Before the update, bottom left showed a phone symbol and bottom right showed a camera symbol. With the camera symbol, I could easily open the camera from lock screen without unlocking the device.
Hi all. I was not able to get this to work directly with one shortcut due to the security reasons noted in some of comments above. However, I did find a workaround that seems to be holding together. The workaround requires two shortcuts rather than one and also requires Keyboard Maestro (and I believe Hazel, or something similar, would also work).
I created one shortcut that saves a text file to a specific folder in iCloud when it is triggered. I can trigger it by voice even when the screen is locked because it must not cross the security threshold where Apple requires user intervention for the shortcut to run.
I set up a Keyboard Maestro macro to watch the folder and trigger a second shortcut when it sees the text file added to the folder. The second shortcut triggers the open garage door action. After that action is triggered, Keyboard Maestro deletes the text file and starts waiting for it to be added again.
