How to Put Affirmations on Your iPhone Lock Screen
Your phone is the first thing you see each morning and the last thing at night. Why not let it show you something kind? With a lock screen widget, a fresh affirmation greets you every time you pick up your phone. Here is how to set it up on your iPhone in just a few taps.

Affirmations not showing on your lock screen? Quick fixes
If the widget is blank or missing, three checks fix it almost every time. First, make sure you are on iOS 17 or later, since lock screen widgets need it. Second, check that you added the widget under the clock, not just set a new wallpaper. Third, open the Attraya app once so it has affirmations to pull from, then lock your phone again.
Still stuck? Remove the widget and add it back from scratch. And if you want the same kind words while your phone is unlocked, add a home screen affirmation widget too.
Tips to get the most from it
Match your wallpaper
Pick a widget theme that fits your wallpaper. When it looks pretty, you will glance at it more.
Read it out loud
When your affirmation shows, say it once in your head or out loud. Saying it helps it land.
Add reminders too
Turn on affirmation reminders so a few also arrive as notifications through your day.
Pick what you need
Going through a hard week? Choose calm or self love. Chasing a goal? Choose money or success.
