Screen Label lets you add a message to your Lock Screen or Home Screen, quickly and simply. You might want to show some contact details, then if you lose your phone your chances of getting it back go way up. Or a company name, or department name... anything. On iOS 16 and later you can use the Lock Screen widget to add a short message visible on all Lock Screens. For earlier iOS versions you can import any photo in your camera roll, then style and position your message label on top of it. This is saved back to the camera roll as a new picture, and then you can use it as Wallpaper. You can use a plain background rather than a photo if you prefer.
