The lock screen is the first we see after picking up our smartphone. This is why one should try to make it as interactive as possible. And it doesn't require a lot of effort. Yes, you read it right. With a few tweaks, you can transform your lock screen from dull to "wow!" So, ditch the default and personalise the space with these top tips:

Interactive widgets:

Instead of using widgets that simply display information, you can use widgets that allow you to perform quick actions without unlocking your device. For example, control your music, check the weather, or preview your emails or messages directly from the lock screen. Some widgets come with productivity apps, letting you access reminders, notes, and quick information from them, in a glance. Experiment with different fonts, sizes, and styles for the clock to make it stand out. You even get animated clock faces too.

Quick glance, big impact:

If you are not interested in downloading too many apps, use the Glance Smart Lock Screen which brings personalised content to the Lock Screen through the power of artificial intelligence (AI). Glance lets users decide how they want to experience the lock screen and they can easily opt-out at any time through the phone's settings screen.

Un-clutter your notifications:

Customize how notifications appear on your lock screen to strike a balance between staying informed and maintaining privacy. Choose which apps can display sensitive information and tweak settings to avoid clutter.

Wacky wallpapers:

Ditch the generic and set a dynamic wallpaper carousel. This elevates your lock screen experience, adds an element of surprise, and keeps things visually interesting. 

Shortcuts to the rescue

You can access the camera, enable DND, QR code scanner, and video camera, and launch the torch from the lock screen. So, choose what’s important to you and enable it for super quick access.

Privacy is the key:

While personalization is fun, be mindful of what information you display on your lock screen. Avoid sensitive details like your home address or banking information, especially if your phone unlocks easily.
