The functionality that enables a moving image or video to serve as the display while the device is in its locked state on a mobile operating system is the subject of this discussion. For example, a user might set a brief personal recording or a pre-designed animated clip to appear instead of a static image when the device is inactive.
This feature offers a personalized user experience, allowing individuals to express creativity or display visually appealing content. Historically, mobile device lock screens were limited to static images and basic notifications. The introduction of dynamic, moving imagery represents an evolution in user interface design and customizability. It can also provide a more engaging and informative pre-unlock experience.
