So, using the above procedure, it is possible to link the lock screen with focus mode on your iPhone with iOS 16 installed. So if you now activate in any way the focus mode that you have linked to the locked screen, it will be automatically set. And if you turn off the mode, it will return to the original lock screen. If you would also like to link the home screen and the watch face on the Apple Watch to the concentration mode, just go to Settings → Concentration, where you can choose a specific mode. Here, then scroll down to Customize Screens and make changes.
