Decorate your lockscreen with an ever-updating collage with Tiles Instagram Lock Screen
You are now able to customise the look of your lockscreen with photos thanks to the Tiles Instagram Lock Screen app. Installing the free download will transform your standard lockscreen into a tiled feed that is based on your Instagram account. It constantly refreshes in the background, so you get a constantly changing collage of pictures to enjoy. Tiles also enables you to scroll through your Instagram feed without having to unlock your phone or open the app, and you can even Like posts! You can also further fi ne-tune your lockscreen by only showing certain accounts in your feed and choosing a background colour.
Special Features :-
- Collage layout
Pressing the power button on your device, will now bring up a tiled list of the last 15 or so pictures that would normally appear on your Instagram feed. Some are miniaturized while others are large for interest and a sense of variety.
- Access Instagram
Tapping anywhere on the screen, other than the red rectangle, padlock or camera icon, will unlock the Instagram feed. This will let you scroll through your feed without unlocking your phone, which is pretty handy. If your phone’s unlocked, tapping on an image will enlarge it to fill the whole screen.
- Still secure
Swiping upwards will reveal your normal lockscreen underneath. This means if you normally use a PIN, password or pattern-based lockscreen, your phone security isn’t compromised beyond being able to access your Instagram account without unlocking.
- Revert to normal
If you tap the triple-dot icon, you can access Tile’s settings from the lockscreen and quickly remove the Instagram feed, reverting to it your default lockscreen.
- Currently no camera
While you’re supposed to be able to instantly open your camera by swiping, we found this feature didn’t work on any of the phone’s we tried Tiles on and neither did the camera button in the bottom right. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed soon.
Instagram Connectivity:-
Beyond providing a constant feed, Tiles has several other features you can use without unlocking your Android
- Like and comment
Tap on an image in the feeded and it will expand to fill your screen. Not only will you now have an expanded view of the picture, you will also be able to like, comment and read the captions.
- Tiles settings
If you open the app, you will be greeted with a settings screen. From here, you will be able to change the colour of the theme and make it update only when you have access to Wi-Fi to save on your data allowance.
- Hide unwanted posts
If there is someone you follow whose pictures you do not want to appear on your lockscreen for some reason, you can change this by tapping No Symbol situated to the right of your screen.
Enjoy It!!!
