Discover the enhanced lock screen personalization options introduced in Android 14 for Google Pixel phones. Experience the simplicity of Pixel phones without sacrificing customization. Now, you can effortlessly change the clock style, font, size, and colors to suit your personal taste and preferences. Say goodbye to limited choices and embrace the newfound control over your lock screen design.
First, swipe down twice from the top of the screen and select the gear icon to open the Settings.
Next, go to the "Wallpaper & Style" section.
"Lock Screen" should already be selected at the top of the screen, but make sure it is if not.
The first thing we can do is choose a clock style. Swipe from left to right to cycle through the different options.
Once you're happy with your clock choice, tap "Clock Color & Size."
Choose the desired color for the clock. The initial color in the lineup will align it with the phone's overall theme. By selecting an alternative color, you can also modify its brightness.
The "Size" tab gives you the option to have a "Dynamic" clock that will grow and shrink to accommodate notifications, or a permanent "Smal" clock.
Returning to the primary "Lock Screen" page, you are provided with the opportunity to customize the colors for the complete lock screen interface, extending beyond the clock. This encompasses the "At a Glance" information and shortcut buttons.
Scrolling down the page, you can choose a wallpaper for the lock screen.
Tap "Shortcuts" to customize the two shortcuts at the bottom corners of the lock screen.
Next, you can choose to show or hide notifications on the lock screen.
Finally, the "More Lock Screen Options" menu includes some extra privacy and behavior settings.
That's all! Although it may not have the same level of customization as Samsung offers for Galaxy devices, this represents a significant improvement from the previous choices. Now go ahead and personalize your lock screen with your own unique style!
