After the launch of Apple’s iOS 16 update, Google’s YouTube Music will be the latest to introduce an iOS 16 lock screen widget. “Recently Played” can be added to a user’s lock screen to quickly access recently played songs, albums, playlists, and videos.
There is a 2×1 widget with the name of the song, album, artist, playlist or song radio. The 1×1 widget displays the song name and similar to YouTube Music’s home screen widget, users can click the widget to start the audio.
To add the new widgets, users can touch their lock screen to open the Edit menu and then select Customize. Users tap the row where they want to add or swap widgets and select YouTube Music. Close the Add Widgets panel and tap Done to save the changes.
