Can iOS 16 Lock Screen Notifications move to the Top from the Bottom?

US tech giant Apple is renowned and well-known for its quality yearly Operating System updates. Apple has released its latest iOS 16 OS update, which was initially showcased at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event in June 2022.

The iOS 16 comes with a lot of overwhelming features. The latest iOS 16 features a completely reimagined and redesigned lock screen with many newly designed personalization features, including widgets, lock screen, home screen, etc. It also features revamped updates to iMessage and Apple Maps. You can now be able to edit and unsend messages. Also, the keyboard haptics are improved, and a brand new Home app arrived with the update.

iOS 16 Shows Lock Screen Notifications at the Bottom of the Screen

A significant portion of the iOS 16 update covered the lock screen. It has now received most of the required changes, such as the users having the ability to add widgets and apply wallpaper on the lock screen.

Alongside, what people didn’t like about the update and are getting irritated with is the lock screen only. The problem is the lock screen notifications. Due to the changes made and additional widgets applied to the lock screen, the notifications appearing are getting piled up on one another at the base of the screen. The users tend to look at the top or middle for the notifications they receive. Unfortunately, the iOS 16 update for the lock screen annoyed the users.

However, if you are getting irritated and frustrated by that, you can change the notification view by selecting the List view for all your notifications.
