Google announced last September 12 that it is making its apps available for the iOS 16's integration, particularly with the lock screen, especially as Apple's latest offer focuses on offering widgets for all. The Mountain view internet company said that apps including Search, Chrome, Gmail, Maps, and more are getting integration for the latest iOS.
Now, the company completed its developments for the iOS 16, centering on the Search and Maps' latest update which allows users to place their widgets on the lock screen.
Users may directly Search on the lock screen widget in this new update, as well as navigate with the Maps available for the iPhones.

Users need to have the Google apps to have it available on their iOS 16 lock screen widgets, and users need to update it to the latest version which the company offers. Users need to head to the App Store for this, and they need to launch the apps they want available on their lock screens before editing the widgets for them to appear.
Apple's iOS 16 and its Features
Apple delivered the iOS 16 last September, several days after the famed Far Out iPhone event which centered on everything about the company's smartphone. It brought massive features for the new OS, but it is not necessarily a major revamp for the company, as it is identical to the iOS 15's offers but adds something more to the system.
The Cupertino giant delivers on many features available for its devices, with the iOS 16 bringing the unsend feature for its iMessage app, also with the edit text feature coming with it. And while the technology is not a new thing in the app industry now, it still is an upgrade for iPhone users and iOS.
Another nifty feature for the iOS 16 is an upgrade to iOS 15's Visual Lookup, as users may crop unwanted figures in their captured images with just a long click.
The iOS 16 delivers better features now, and people are given more options and freedom to design their devices, the new offer from Apple from its previous strict designs and experience. Google is the only one company that brings their services for the iOS lock screen widgets, with Maps and Search directly accessible for the device.
