What if your lock screens were able to communicate with you in the simplest way possible. Most of the time, we use lock screens to check notification, or perhaps for quick camera access or dial pad.
What if we could create an amazing experience for users by creating custom features for lock screen, what if we can do more than just notifying users?
Notifications are handled in three ways:
Execution: Acting on a notification is completing a task right from the lock screen. This might be by replying to a text or calling back a missed call, etc. They all involve actions and can be completed or started directly from the lock screen.
Read-only: As a user, I would just read the content without completing any action. The notification will be marked as read and will be considered complete and disappear.
Ignoring: a notification that is ignored by users. It is considered unread and needs to be either dismissed or acted upon. The notification will stay in the Notification Center.
Creating content for lock screen has been case studies, but no one has intended to execute it.
Because creating content for the lock screen is not easy. It has hardware dependency too
Ex: If we are planning to create video content or a mini-games for a lock screen, the battery drain could be the end result, which might promote users to disable the feature.
