What's your phone lock screen?

submitted by edited

I've heard that a phone lock screen can tell you a lot about the person. So, I'm curious.

I swap mine between images and videos of my pets.

A bike. Made of flowers.

It's actually a video, but here's a screenshot. 1000178753

My kids. It randomly selects a photo from those containing either of my kids

Right now it’s these mochi I doodled:

That looks great!

Is there any way you could upload the file itself so others could also use it?

Sure! Here you go :)

.

And here’s the whole image with the rest of my doodles:

Just so you guys know - there's a community dedicated to sharing mobile wallpapers, [email protected]

There’s like 5 posts in there total.

This one is a tad more popular.

https://lemmy.world/c/mobilewallpaper

Huh. Now I notice I linked the wrong community. I meant [email protected]

... which is also smaller than the lemmy world one but has more than 5 posts.

The more the merrier. Have an updote.

This is mine. I've been playing Octopatch Traveler recently and I started out playing as H'aanit so I decided to have her as my lock screen. I love the art style of this game.

Like with all my devices, I will try to set a wallpaper that I took, usually from a trip. Each device has its own wallpaper to differentiate them and to remind me of different places I've been.

Here's my lock screen where I took a photo of a small roadside garden while I was in Hervey Bay, Queensland.

A photo I took of an aircraft comming in to land this winter

Those light trails came out clean, nice shot.

My hamb eating a bit of salmon

Okay, no need to be rude

I have a flip phone, if you see that it's your own fault.

I change mine a lot, the first is current but everything after that are used regularly

Better known for his other work

I like it simple

Lol same. Default lock screen wallpaper in LineageOS.

Minimalism: It's the Least You Can Do!

The Pillars, classy. 👌

Relevant name

I have a few wallpapers like that too lol

Now that's some JWST love

The background changes to match the current weather.

Nice, why does it say nosy little fucker?

Because years ago I had an ex whom whenever I was at her parents, they would snoop through my phone. I'd seen a joke image of a large colored box with that text in really tiny letters(so you had to squint to see it) and decided to copy it on my phone lock screen. Needless to say, they stopped soon after. But I kept it around ever since because I think it's funny. I just set the "emergency lock screen info" to that text to display it.

I like it!

Thanks! It's amusing when occasionally a friend will see it and act mock offended. I had someone once say it was rude - to which I replied "But how did you see it?". Shuts em up fast lol

It’s the Forest app! I used it long ago.

Yes, I do use my "emergency contact" text at the bottom as jokes related to whatever my lock screen is at the time

A picture of my pupper

Just the “Nature” collection from iOS. I love oceans so it’s mainly oceans & seas from all places. (And occasionally snowy mountains)

Just a heads up, I'd delete this to hide your email. Up to you

Found a new signup email account!

Just some default wallpaper. I have never really cared about the wallpaper. I just pick anything that doesn’t distract.

I suppose it tells I’m a boring person.

Or it tells us you got more important things to do than dick around with the wallpaper of your phone's lock screen.

Self made with traced assets

Its an animated gif of Stargate Command's Dial up device

Pure plack background with centered off-white text in the Fira Code font saying:

A WISE
PERSON
ONCE SAID
NOTHING

I have created this wallpaper specifically for the scenario that others look at it.

A picture of the moon I took with my superzoom camera.

The defect on the lower edge of Jupiter is me blacking out my email; the original image is clean.

I believe it fits well with my screen lock - a 6x6 pattern with invisible lines/dots

space

I have a terrible memory for numbers so:

This could be uploaded to a shitposting community with no changes and do quite well

A notes app, what's that

Need the pin to access them notes.

A cool screenshot I took

I don't know why, but this one speaks to me

A picture of random stairs in croatia that my boyfriend took

Every time I turn on the screen it’s a different nature pic from my photos. It’s nice to get the memories and there’s no identifying photos of people.

Black.

OLED-display-and-worn-out-battery gang, rise up!

It reminds me of my girlfriend

Snap

This is your first comment on a 1 year old account lol

Lol I don't usually enjoy commenting but was just surprised to see the same wallpaper

A picture of me and my girlfriend in our flannel shape blanket hoodies. Can’t post it here because of obvious reasons.

I've been rocking some pixel art by Postmodern Ouroboros for a couple of years now. It fits the clock and icon locations so well I haven't felt like changing it.

So.... What can you tell about these images? I'm also curious

I can't find the actual photo so here's a shitty screenshot of the config...

Man... failed to load media... that's a really shitty screenshot.

Alright I went out and found it.

Swamp thing from the saga of swamp thing by Alan Moore

The widget is pixel pals if anyone is wondering. Made by Christian Selig the dev that brought us Apollo for Reddit

Its a photo i took in Tennessee i edited it to make it dark so when i turn on my phone late at night it doesn't blind me

A picture of my amazing wife in her wedding dress.

Just the current weather live wallpaper

Hi, from the future. I just look up "oled wallpaper" and pick this one 3 years ago.

Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.

A wallpaper of a wall with the center lighted.

Default!

You monster! Is it a new phone?

I want to say yes, but it's probably been over a year now.

Same as background:

Charge your phone

Overmorrow. The charger is to far from the couch.

Deep cycling reduces the capacity of lithium batteries. If you want your battery to last more than 2-3 years, you should try to keep your charge between 30% and 80% as often as reasonably possible. Or just enable the "Battery Protection" feature on your device if it has it.

Really neat Bloodborne fanart that I found

Currently the same picture as my background. For obvious reasons, I blocked out parts that I shouldn't be showing for privacy concerns.

In every device it's a photo I took and different from the wallpaper. They're both edited to match a color theme, usually grayscale+one more color (currently orange). The photos are usually of buildings, flowers or cats but right now I have a combo of a bicycle for lock screen and building for wallpaper.

Usually i use images featuring only Amy, but this one was too cute to ignore.

Are you hyped for the fourth movie? I didn't see the post credits until I watched it again yesterday with my daughter. I'd been pretty miffed that they gave us Shadow before they gave us Amy!

I'm unbelievably hyped for the next movie!

I too was a bit annoyed that Amy didn't officially appear in the third movie, but in retrospect maybe it was for the best, as that way Amy wasn't overshadowed (jeje) by Shadow, a bit like what happened to Tails in the second movie, where Knuckles was the true star.

Very fair point about Tails, although I appreciated the joke about him being Sonic's wingman and him reaffirming that they work as a team with different skills. Super wholesome way of saying that everyone is important. Also we got the plane scene which was the best nostalgia hit I've had in a while.

Let the hype train keep on rolling!!! 🚂

Default background on the Razer Phone 2

Fucking based

God I miss my Razer Phone 2. To my knowledge, it was the last Android phone ever released that did not have a blighted notch or hole punch. The only thing that could improve it would be an OLED screen

It still performs great 7 years later!

It's a picture of my daughter being cute (note: she's always cute).

I love nature images for my lock screens. I chose the jellyfish because they are so pretty and colourful, they look stunning in photographs.

I suppose it does say a thing or two about the person

Including their timezone and ISP

My lock screen is just my wallpaper, which I can't post one screenshot of because my phone cycles through 175 of them. You definitely could tell a lot about me based on that alone, and also based on what wallpapers I have and in what order they're in

The most random stupid pic of my self, repulsive enough to make everyone drop the phone in discust.

Works amazing to stop people trying to snoop.

A woman and child running from me in nature.

Running Mando at the moment.

What movie is this from?

I'm not sure if it is from a movie at all, I found it on a website for wallpapers.

There's a DreamWorks logo in the bottom left.

An extremely zoomed in picture of my wife's legs in fishnet in blue light. If you don't look long it just looks abstract.

A copper still I made from an old boiler while test running it. Was a nice hobby pre covid, I should pick it up again.

Bocchi-chan and the Tuvix ep of TGG playing, lol

I just picked a default wallpaper with a dark to grey color palette and made it both my wallpaper and lock screen. Wanted something easy on the eyes.

I use the Samsung rotating lock screen, with pictures set to landscapes, desserts, and animals.

Get about a dozen pics of each that change every 2 weeks or so. About a month ago there were a bunch of pictures of tropical fish that were all labeled "Swan", which was way funnier to me than it should have been.

Raphaelesque Head Exploding by Salvador Dali

None

Every 12 hours I have the Tasker app change my lockscreen wallpaper to the latest bing wallpaper

I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.

A random mountain that was in the default selection, since years.

I've got a rotation of 10 or so cinamagraphs set. Here are a few. I've got one of those tablet phones so they look best when I open my phone due to aspect ratios.

It's a geometric pattern my son and I crayoned onto the white paper table covering while waiting for our pizza.

A silly picture of me with my cat

Some dark space scene. The clock sits perfectly so I've kept it.

Home screen is a grouchy can with a cup of coffee tho!
