Airlines are a mess in the post-Covid world, with flight cancellations, rescheduling, and last-minute gate changes becoming more common. A number of apps are available to help travelers keep up with flight tracking and alerts — but when you’re in a rush, even opening an app can take up precious time you may not have to spare. That’s where Flighty’s iOS 16-ready app can help. This top-ranked travel app will bring a range of new Lock Screen widgets to your iPhone, including a Trip Countdown widget for ahead of your travels, as well as a Live Flight Status widget, and an In-Flight Progress Bar.

With the iOS 16 update coming out on Monday, app developers have been thinking about how to best serve their respective user bases by taking advantage of the new screen real estate provided to them by way of Lock Screen widgets. This new customization tool allows users to add mini-widgets above and below the clock on their iPhone’s Lock Screen. Already, a number of apps are rolling out with single-purpose widgets or adding widgets to larger theme packs.
