Favorites Lock Screen: Microsoft’s new Android app makes your locked screen more interesting
Microsoft’s replacement app for usual lockscreen now in India
Microsoft Garage -- a programme that encourages the tech giant's employees to work on special projects -- on Friday launched a new "Favorites Lock Screen" application for Android devices in India.
"Favorites Lock Screen" is a replacement app for the usual lockscreen and has been built around the users' interests and is the fourth such lock screen project from the tech giant.
"We wanted to build a lock screen focused on fandom, not just beautiful images. Our app allows people to craft a more personalised experience centred around their passions and interests," Pavan Kumar Desari, Program Manager of the Favorites Lock Screen team, wrote in the company's blog post recently.
Developed in the Microsoft India Development Centre, the app provides the user an option to choose wallpapers from categories such as sports, actors, musicians, animals and automobiles.
There is also a search bar to let the user search directly from the lock screen. They can access apps and settings with a tap through the lock screen and also choose how to unlock the Android device.
The app comes with a range of wallpaper collections ranging from sports, actors, musicians, animals, and automobiles. You can also set daily HD wallpapers of your favourite celebrities and interests. You can download the application for free on Google Play Store.
