Customizing your Android phone's lock screen, including its look and its widgets, is better than ever in the Android 14 beta. As this is a beta, things could change by the time the full version of the software arrives on your particular Android device. But hopefully it'll still resemble the steps in this guide. As things stand, it's easy to use and make big changes while keeping track of what the final lock screen will look like.
Seemingly taking some cues from rival iOS, you can now access the lock screen customization options from the lock screen itself. From there you can change the colors, shortcuts and other aspects of the lock screen with some simple automatic settings, or dive into more in-depth options as you see fit.
