Microsoft on Saturday updated its Next Lock Screen app for Android with
some quick glance notifications, apart from music controls and more.
The Next Lock Screen app, a Microsoft
Garage project, is compatible with devices running Android 4.0 and higher, but
the new music player controls and instant messaging notifications for Skype, Line, and Google Hangouts only work with devices
running Android 4.3 and higher versions.
Apart from the improved performance, memory
usage and number of bug fixes, another updated feature in the Next Lock Screen
app (version 1.5.10695) is the new quick toggle option for turning off/ on
mobile data from the lock screen, similar toAndroid Lollipop. Since this is not
limited to Android 4.3 and works for all Android 4.0 and higher devices, those
users will also find the update useful. The updated app also shows MMS message
notifications on the lock screen.
Some of the key features of the Next Lock
Screen app include notifications for calendar, missed calls and text messages.
The app can dial a conference call in a single tap without unlocking the phone.
It shows most used apps from user's current location for quick access. Users
can also choose dynamic background that changes throughout the day based on
location.
The Next Lock Screen app by Microsoft is available via Google Play for devices
running Android 4.0 and higher.
