Peloton Adds Lock Screen Widget for iOS 16

A new Peloton widget is available for iOS 16, the latest Apple software for iPhones. The Peloton widget can be added to your lock screen so that your Peloton streak appears on display when your iPhone is locked (note that this is different from your Home Screen). The latest Peloton App update contained mention of this in the release notes:

This release contains a Lock Screen widget that will become available in the Lock Screen Widget Menu once the latest version of the app is installed. Add the Peloton widget to your Lock Screen to celebrate your weekly streak and help you stay on track to reach your goals.

Peloton also pushed a notification to the iOS App:
