Put your app content in front of your users right on the lock screen. Design your own layout, or use any of our built-in designs.

Users swipe left to follow a predefined action from your app (such as simply launching your app), or swipe right to unlock as usual.

Beautiful, Rich Media Ads
If enabled by the app, the lock screen can provide for a full-screen rich ad experience for brands and users alike. It's a billboard in the hands of users that's not only visible to them, but also to people around them.
