Microsoft Garage -- a programme that encourages the tech giant’s
employees to work on special projects -- on Friday launched a new “Favorites
Lock Screen” application for Android devices in India.
“Favorites Lock Screen” is a
replacement app for the usual lockscreen and has been built around the users’
interests and is the fourth such lock screen project from the tech giant.
“We wanted to build a lock
screen focused on fandom, not just beautiful images. Our app allows people to
craft a more personalised experience centred around their passions and
interests,” Pavan Kumar Desari, Program Manager of the Favorites Lock Screen
team, wrote in the company’s blog post recently.
Developed in the Microsoft
India Development Centre, the app provides the user an option to choose
wallpapers from categories such as sports, actors, musicians, animals and
automobiles.
There is also a search bar to let the user search directly from
the lock screen. They can access apps and settings with a tap through the lock
screen and also choose how to unlock the Android device.
The app comes with a range of
wallpaper collections ranging from sports, actors, musicians, animals, and
automobiles. You can also set daily HD wallpapers of your favourite celebrities
and interests. You can download the
application for free on Google Play Store.
