The Android lockscreen is very simple, but that depends on what phone you have, and where you buy it. In some regions, “Glance” has become commonplace as a supercharged Android lockscreen with recommendations, information, and ads. Now, that’s coming to the US.
Glance is a company that’s primarily popular across India, Asia, and other regions. It allows Android manufacturers to add content the lockscreen through a personalized interface that can show news, sports scores, recommended content, and even play instant games before a full download.
One big idea behind Glance seems to be to capture those times where the user pulls out their smartphone by habit. In a previous email to 9to5Google, the company mentioned that studies found that over half of the time people pull out their phone, they don’t know what they intend to do.
