In this article we will show you how to put the clock on the lock screen of your Android mobile or iPhone. But first, we want to show you the difference between the three types of screens that are shown on mobiles.
Differences between home screen, lock screen and screen saver
Although it may not seem like it, this nomenclature is often confused. Therefore, before starting the tutorial, we want to get you out of your doubts.
The home screen is the one where you can see all your applications. You will spend most of your time in it while using your mobile. The lock screen is the one that is shown when your mobile is turned off and you press the power button, in which we manage to lock the screen of our smartphone with a password.
It is the interface before the home screen and it always shows a clock. Finally, the screen saver or screensaver is the one that is shown when the mobile goes into sleep, which is also called Always on Display mode , and must be activated.
And they are so important that, for example, we always want to experience new things when customizing the lock screen on iPhone or Android. Therefore, in this article we show you how to do it.
