This is helpful if ur phone is lost! TYSM! Tip: I titled mine as follows selecting the pin icon when naming my custom Focus mode. U may leave on all day, or only when u leave the house. “📍 Chuy’s phone: ask Siri to call Cheryl”
I like this idea.but I was going to ask you could you also put a alternate phone number in case I or someone loses their phone the person that finds it could call that number and give your phone back?
I’ve been doing it the hard way. I use my own photo for the Lock Screen and use the photos edit feature to add text. In addition to my name I also include the phone number of the phone. Text can be placed anywhere on the screen. This technique can be used with nearly any cell phone, including flip phones.
Phone number of the phone? I have there phone number to my wife, so she can do something. Honestly, i really don't see what your number, if phone lost, can do for you ;)
hi warren from Australia I worked out how to put my focus with my name but I don't understand why it gives you an option to pick a colour. Because when you pick a colour it doesn't come out in colour you pick red but your name was white. I've had the same problem.
Must be a bug. I think I know what you are saying. I can only pick red as the background and white text. Hopefully the developers will provide a fix soon.
I put this on my phone... but now I'm thinking of this could be a great reminder of a upcomming evernt.. Dr office visit..etc.. just put the the Date and event instead of name.. and you will never forget it again since we all look at our phone all day and carry everywhere.
Thanks, Daniel ! I generally do not use focus at all so the Focus Method works for me. The Widget method is more visible and probably most preferable for those that like the Focus mode to let their iPhones control their lives. (Not me … I’m retired. I now have time to do things when and if I so choose🤣) The Any Text Widget opens up other useful ideas!
Okay, so now it's working on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, using iOS 18 b2, I turned the phone off and when I turned it back on, the widget with my name using any text app started working!!!
@@joachimguth6226 with just your name? You just have to set your phone as “lost” on “find my device”. You can then set a message on the screen for way to contact you.
I brought all your directions, but when I scroll down, I don’t see any text as an option. Oh, I saw in the app I had to reboot my phone. I got it thank you.
I have no idea WHY anyone would add their name as shown in this video. I see no benefit to doing this and if your phone is lost or stolen, it literally shows your name for anyone to see.
People are trying to give the iPhone capabilities that it doesn't actually have by working around the ones it does have.Pathetic. Android users laughed at this...
Or - just write your name on the back of the phone, like I have done for every phone. DUH! Why would you want to advertise that it is your phone? Great way to start stealing your identity.
Thanks for this. What image are you using as the wallpaper on your Lock Screen? Looks almost like a default iOS 18 image but textured instead of smooth.
For people wondering why this is useful it's because probably if your phone is lost. You can also put your secondary number if you want so they can contact it so they can tell you they found it. Or just put your social medias there too xD.
Hi Daniel! Guess what lol! Watching your instruction video on this subject is THE ONLY ONE that I was able to comprehend... Well I about fell off my chair because you have "my last name!" Sooo weird! Nice video, just wanted to let you know that us "Barros'" are the bomb! 😂
Nice addition to my lock screen, thanks! One thing though, the icon that is required to be selected with name in focus mode also shows in the top center of my watch.
Wow, never knew 👍 I keep my name on a piece of paper sliced between cover jacket and phone My. Friend once mistakenly took my phone home 😱 I was going bananas thinking I’m lost my phone great future Thanks great video ❤️
I can't get it to work DARN!!! I see my name when I hit focus but when I get out/done it will not show my name on the screen. I obviously did something wrong but I followed what he said.
How to disable the camera app on the lock screen so my kid doesn’t fill up my icloud storage which keeps me busy because I have to delete them afterwards 😉 ?
2 questions! Has anyone been able to get the text to show the color you choose ? And does anyone know if this drains the battery if I leave it on all day ? (I did the one on the bottom, not the app.) thanks!
This is brilliant! Just in case I forget my name I have it on all my devices now! 😂😂😂
Exactly...... ridiculous.
You could put the name and phone number of close one. In case you misplaced the mobile. That way the one found the mobile can call the person
Biden uses this with his name and title Demoncrat President. He hasn’t lost his phone yet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When crunk
Thank you! After using an iPhone all these years, I had never seen this feature before, well done
It’s a new feature

“📍 Chuy’s phone: ask Siri to call Cheryl”
Awesome tutorial, simple and easy, the first method works thanks!
I like this idea.but I was going to ask you could you also put a alternate phone number in case I or someone loses their phone the person that finds it could call that number and give your phone back?
I put my wife’s name and number on my Lock Screen as I want anyone who finds my phone to call her, no point in having my info there.
you are correct.👍wife's number should be there..
Thank you, very useful, specially at work with so menya ccellphones around.

how to fix the app if it is not showing your name and how to rest the app
Make it sleep
this is the coolest how to video I’ve seen in a while. Everything worked just as you said.
I put my email address in case it is lost so someone can reach me. Thanks.

Lol. So funny that this is a big deal. While I'm an iPhone user now I could easily do this years ago with my android phone
iOS 18 has also been a game changer since swapping to iPhone last year

It reminds me of old nokia mobiles, when we used to create our cool profile names and showing on display!!
Didn't even change the color
Yeah but focus mode silences everything so it’s useless unless.
If you make it do that
Thank you, Daniel! It worked for me.
Very sweet!!!
Learned something new today 😁
Always love to learn new stuff
Handy!!!
Thanks
Okay, so now it's working on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, using iOS 18 b2, I turned the phone off and when I turned it back on, the widget with my name using any text app started working!!!
Thanks. I have been looking for a long time to do it😁👍
Okay, but why? Why would I want the name in the “open” like that?
in case someone finds your lost phone and want to give it back to you
@@joachimguth6226 with just your name? You just have to set your phone as “lost” on “find my device”. You can then set a message on the screen for way to contact you.
I tried this and thought it was fun however, it stopped my notifications from coming in on my Apple watch, iPhone and iPads. Maybe I missed something?
Added to bottom of screen but not in color (I did select red)! ??
Same issue. I selected blue-shows white.
Brother what’s the name of your wallpaper can you tell me
Worked great but the color didn't be changed
Nope, not going to down an app just to add my name to the lock screen.
How can I obtain the matte grey wallpaper that adorns your walls?
It’s not showing on the bottom…. I followed your instructions 🤔💭
I brought all your directions, but when I scroll down, I don’t see any text as an option. Oh, I saw in the app I had to reboot my phone. I got it thank you.
lol my control center doesn’t even show on my new iPhone 15.
Awesome! Thank you, Daniel.
Nice, I love this tutorial. at least some small personalization on my XR. Thanks.
NO NO NO ! Don't make it! It's a possibility to enter in your privacy !
I thought it might be a privacy thing too. Surely if people know your name, they can do more than if they don’t?
I have no idea WHY anyone would add their name as shown in this video. I see no benefit to doing this and if your phone is lost or stolen, it literally shows your name for anyone to see.
You talked way too fast for me to keep up.
Turn speed down to .75. Worked fine
You listening too slow
Not if you actually pay attention
Tap the screen and select the settings icon. You can choose the playback speed from there 👌👌
I mean, compare his speed toward the end to the speed he begins with 🐢, he does kinda take off…
You speak simple English i can understand
I put my name in the background image, real easy to do with the foto app and works always.
Can you share this nice wallpaper ?
That’s the stock wallpaper 😂
Thanks so much I never knew this before.
People are trying to give the iPhone capabilities that it doesn't actually have by working around the ones it does have.Pathetic. Android users laughed at this...
Personally I don’t go to far from home so if I lost it at work they could return it if my name is on it.
Thank you, the Focus Mode method works, on my 15 Pro, as well as my iPad.👍🏾
Same here.. so cool 😎
I put a contact number for if my phone gets lost. Done it for years on myandroid phone.
That was pretty cool , thanks for the information .
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
This is cool 😎 android features I like 👍🏾 this about time 🤣
Nice little gem 💎 Subbed 😉
Doesn’t work on iPhone 15 plus running iOS 18.
It works on I pad 9
Sure it does I just did it 10 seconds ago.
Thanks a lot man, very useful video, and best of all, short and sweet, not much fluff!
Or - just write your name on the back of the phone, like I have done for every phone. DUH! Why would you want to advertise that it is your phone? Great way to start stealing your identity.
Thanks for this. What image are you using as the wallpaper on your Lock Screen? Looks almost like a default iOS 18 image but textured instead of smooth.
Using focus to add your name no longer works on iOS 18. Apple didn’t like that we were having fun with it.

My iPhone 13 pro max wont do as your directing. iPhone 13 users need to go through SETTINGS SCREEN.
Colour is pointless as i thought that showed on the lock screen but it doesn,t.
Wow🤑 it works perfectly on my both iPad 10th generation and iPhone 11 pro . Thanks bro
I want the wallpaper 😂..but thx this any text widget is amazing
Excellently explained thank you 🙏
Why would you want your name?
Hi Daniel! Guess what lol! Watching your instruction video on this subject is THE ONLY ONE that I was able to comprehend...
Well I about fell off my chair because you have "my last name!" Sooo weird! Nice video, just wanted to let you know that us "Barros'" are the bomb! 😂

Great hack using the focus mode! Thanks for sharing ❤
Why would you want to advertise your name with all the security issues on the planet?
That’s like the last thing I would want to do
Wow, never knew 👍
I keep my name on a piece of paper sliced between cover jacket and phone
My. Friend once mistakenly took my phone home 😱 I was going bananas thinking I’m lost my phone great future Thanks great video ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this information I have been wanting to have my name on my lock screen for quite sometime Thanks again
Excellent information thank you so much
Iam using IPhone 12 pro max it didn't work that option
Didn't work on my iPhone 14 plus no custom focus showing.
Same phone and worked4 me
I have a 12 mini. It worked for me. Replay the video and follow through
Cannot add my next to widgets in my 15 PM. Please help.
Not good idea when WhatsApp msg comes its not highlighted on the screen just check it we have to go in WhatsApp and checked
⭐️ looks great next to my name. Easily done on Android long ago. Now I have it here. I was using wallpaper with my name on it. Much cleaner look. 🙏🏿
I had to use another phone to get your help for a frozen screen. Thanks for all your knowledge!! You’re my new hero.
I can't get it to work DARN!!! I see my name when I hit focus but when I get out/done it will not show my name on the screen. I obviously did something wrong but I followed what he said.
After all these years, never knew it was that easy.
Thanks! Your first method worked for me & my iPhone 13 Pro. 👍👍
I put my name and my wife’s number. Because unless whoever finds it knows me, kind of worthless.
Good info, thanks.
What is that wallpaper you’re using? And thanks for the video!!!
This doesn’t work for me. Using iOS 18 and it’s not appearing on my screen.
How to disable the camera app on the lock screen so my kid doesn’t fill up my icloud storage which keeps me busy because I have to delete them afterwards 😉 ?
Restarting my phone made the 2nd one work! Thank you
2 questions! Has anyone been able to get the text to show the color you choose ? And does anyone know if this drains the battery if I leave it on all day ? (I did the one on the bottom, not the app.) thanks!
Why the hell would you want to do this? Why not put your unlock code there in case you forget it.
Legal. E o ícone do modo focus aparece na home screen ao lado da hora.
👏
Second method is cool , thanks bud ❤️
Does focus mode drain battery more? I wanted to preserve the battery health of my phone
Nice tip. Btw, are you portuguese? That's a portuguese name. 🙂
App method didn’t work for me . Using an iPhone 15 pro max ,
Thanks Daniel. I appreciate you taking the time to explain and share this cool tip.
I Wrote my name and number ... if someone theft it . He cann call me to return the phone 😅
I was cleaning my screen and somehow the font on the time text on the Lock Screen has changed. Does anybody know how to change it back?
I have an iPhone 14. I tap focus and it looks nothing like yours. So much so that I can’t figure it out.
Thanks for this, but a link to the focus video you mentioned would be nice, the link in the description is about ringtones not focus.
Good idea but iPhone only allows one focus as ON. My main focus is set for no disturb when driving.
Works 12 ProMax 17.5.1. Thanks, Daniel!
iPhone 11 cannot?
The purpose of this tutorial are for those who lost their receipt and can't remember who paid for their phone device..... brilliant.
My son iPhone 11 has an echo no cover. He can’t hear the echo only people who call him. Do you know how to fix it?
Color doesn’t work on iPhone 15 Pro Max…
Thank you very much. i didn't know you could do any of these personalised display things.
This is a great idea with the focus feature. Thank you!
Funny! This feature has been with Samsung phones for years!
Just buy a Samsung 😂😂
Samsung is 🗑️
