You can't directly "change" the lock screen in the same way you change the watch face on your Apple Watch Ultra. The lock screen is a security feature that displays the time and requires a passcode to unlock the device. However, you can manage your passcode settings, which indirectly relates to the lock screen.
Here's how to manage your passcode settings:
Managing Your Apple Watch Ultra Passcode
1. Setting Up a Passcode (Enabling the Lock Screen)
If you don't currently have a passcode set up, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
- Scroll down and tap Passcode.
- Tap Turn Passcode On.
- Enter a 4-digit (or more, if you customize) passcode.
- Re-enter the passcode to confirm.
2. Disabling the Passcode (Removing the Lock Screen)
If you want to remove the passcode requirement:
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
- Scroll down and tap Passcode.
- Tap Turn Passcode Off.
- Tap Turn Off to confirm.
- Enter your current passcode.
3. Changing Your Passcode
To change your existing passcode:
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch Ultra.
- Scroll down and tap Passcode.
- Tap Change Passcode.
- Enter your current passcode.
- Enter your new passcode.
- Re-enter the new passcode to confirm.
Important Considerations:
- Wrist Detection: Enabling wrist detection in the Passcode settings will automatically lock your Apple Watch Ultra when you take it off. This enhances security.
- Unlock with iPhone: You can configure your Apple Watch Ultra to unlock automatically when you unlock your iPhone. This is configured within the Passcode settings as well.
While you can't customize the appearance of the lock screen itself (other than the watch face that's displayed), managing your passcode is the primary way to interact with and control the lock screen functionality on your Apple Watch Ultra.
