Brett’s iTip: You can temporarily mute notifications from the Lock Screen by slowly swiping to left and tapping “Options.” You can mute the selected notifications for 1 hour or the whole day. 

Jeff’s iTip: In iOS 16, you can display a random image from your photo library on your lock screen. The iPhone picks 16 images to rotate, so I recommend that you select to have the image change every hour or daily instead of on lock or on tap; those last two options make it too easy to quickly shuffle between the 16 images.

But what if a picture comes up that I haven’t seen in a long time and I want to see that image in my photo library?  In iOS 16.3, hold a finger down on your lock screen and tap Customize at the bottom. Tap Lock Screen (on the left). Tap on the image to cycle between the 16 currently in rotation until you find the picture that you want. Tap the circle with three dots at the bottom right. Tap Show Photo in Library.

What if a picture comes up that I don’t want on my home screen: Tap Don’t Feature Photo.
