Samsung Galaxy the Complete Manual 14th Edition

The apps Settings – Personalisation

Change the lock screen

The lock screen isn’t just a screen that appears when your handset

has timed out; it can also provide you with some very useful

functions. On the Galaxy S7, you can set it to display lots of diff erent

kinds of information, including a clock, weather data and a rolling

‘ticker’ of information from sources like Facebook.

The lock screen can open directly into fi ve diff erent applications

• what they are is up to you (Fig 3). This is one of the best shortcuts
  you can set up. If you frequently pick up your Galaxy device to make
  a phone call, check your email, tweet, take a photo and so on, the
  chances are that you can put a shortcut to the relevant app on the
  lock screen and get there in an instant.
