So! Let me tell you about this awesome app called Glance Smart Lock Screen that I recently discovered. It's changed the way I use my phone, like, completely! You know how every time your phone screen turns off, you're basically disconnected from everything happening in the world? Well, Glance wallpaper keeps you in the loop even when your phone is locked. It's like a smart display for your welcome display that shows you stuff you actually care about.
Glance wallpaper is already there on most phone brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, Realme, etc. You just gotta enable it in settings. It replaces your regular, boring wallpaper with an interactive screen. Trust me, it's so cool!
Ok, let me show you what all I get to do with Glance without even unlocking my phone. There's live streaming, news, shopping, games - basically everything I need to stay connected and entertained.
Live Streaming on Glance Smart Lock Screen
Dude, this is my favourite part - I can watch entire matches, shows, and events directly from my smart lock screen! Glance has tied up with all the popular platforms like Hotstar, Youtube, SonyLiv, and more to stream stuff live.
So like yesterday, my favourite streamer came up with a new episode. And it was live, as in I won't be able to access it after it was streamed. The moment I woke up my phone was already there on my welcome display! I was able to watch the whole thing, comment, and react right from there. There was no need to find the app it was on, or even unlock my phone. All I had to do was swipe left and there it was. How cool is that?
And during cricket matches, uff the rush to open apps and find live streaming links before the game starts is crazy. Especially when so many people are trying to access the same stream at the same time. It's hell. With Glance, the live feed is instantly on my smart lock screen as soon as I wake up my phone! It's like I don't even have to work to watch the latest events.
Having live-streaming content on welcome display is just brilliant, in my opinion. It keeps me looped into what's happening with a negligible effort from my end. Absolute lifesaver!
Personalised News Feed
Okay, so Glance wallpaper also shows me news on my smart lock screen. But get this - it's not random news. This app actually learns what I like to read since it is backed with artificial technology and machine learning, and leveraging that, it shows me customised news! So I mostly get tech news, food discoveries, memes, cute doggos, and some politics too. But my brother gets entirely different topics like sports, movies, and business news. It's like your own personal newsfeed!
The headlines keep refreshing, and I just swipe up to read the full article. If I'm running late, I skim through the headlines at least to stay updated. On days when I have more time, I read more articles. Either way, I'm never out of the loop! And I can choose to get the news in Hindi, English, or any of the 7 other languages based on my preference. It's great to get your daily news fix without having to manually open and scroll through an app each time.
Glance makes staying updated on the latest happenings feel like second nature!
Shopping from the Glance Smart Lock Screen
Oh, and there's also Glance shopping! I can just browse outfits, accessories, gadgets, and more without unlocking my phone. It's like window shopping on steroids, lol.
Since it has integrated Roposo Shopping, all the top brands are available, and the products are personalised for my needs. I end up discovering and buying so many things that I would have to search for hell and heaven otherwise. When I see something I really like, I can just tap to see pictures, pricing, reviews, - all the details. And Glance Wallpaper lets me directly open the seller's website or app with one click if I wanna buy it. Super seamless!
It's fun to casually browse and find cool stuff to buy whenever I have free time. No need to hunt for deals or filter products manually. Glance makes online shopping effortless!
Games on Glance Smart Lock Screen
Okay, last one, I promise!
Glance also has these fun mini-games I can play right from the smart lock screen. There are puzzles, arcade games, casinos, shooting games and even multiplayer ones where you can compete with friends! It's perfect for quick entertainment when commuting or waiting in line. And the best part is that I don't have to download any gaming apps. Glance offers new recommended games daily based on my interest.
I mostly play brain puzzles and arcade games for a quick breather during stressful days. And you know how addictive ludo and bowling games are! Glance lets me enjoy all this within seconds. No login or signing up is required.
Summarising It
So yeah, Glance adds loads of value and entertainment even when I'm not actively using my phone. It's made my welcome display so much smarter and interesting!
You gotta try this feature, guys; it's a total game-changer. Let me know if you need help setting it up. Once you start using Glance, you'll never go back to boring old wallpaper again :)
