Choose an Unlock Method and Lock Screen Options
Android smartphones have several unlock options. To set or change your lock screen:
Lock Your Phone With Google Find My Device
Enabling the Google Find My Device (formerly Android Device Manager) is a smart move. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can track it, ring it, lock it, or erase it.

Use a Third-Party Lock Screen
If the built-in options aren’t enough, there are many third-party apps to choose from, such as Solo Locker. Apps like these offer alternate ways of locking and unlocking a phone, viewing notifications, and the ability to customize background images and themes. Solo Locker can use your photos as a passcode, and you can design a lock screen interface. If you download a lock screen app, disable the Android lock screen in the device’s security settings. If you uninstall one of these apps, re-enable the Android lock screen.
