Moto Z2 Force – How to Change Lock Screen

The Moto Z2 Force has some simple but efficient security options. Setting up a lock screen is a good idea for several reasons.

If your phone ever gets lost or stolen, strangers won’t be able to access your sensitive data. But you also don’t have to worry about any invasions of privacy at home or your workspace. When you have a lock screen set up, you have to enter your password before going through with certain actions, such as a factory reset. This measure can keep you from making big changes on your phone without meaning to.

Lock Screen Settings

How do you set and change your lock screen?

1. Tap on Settings

2. Select Security

Here, you can manage the security measures your phone has to offer.

3. Tap on “Screen Lock” to Change from One Security Measure to Another

If you don’t have any kind of lock screen function enabled yet, you can simply tap on “Screen Lock” and choose an option. But if you already have a screen lock enabled, you’ll have to unlock the screen before you switch options.

What if you want to change the way your screen lock shows up on your phone?

4. Go into “Screen Lock” to Manage Settings

Tap on the cog icon on the right. The options that follow depend on the kind of screen lock that you have enabled. For example, if you use a pattern to unlock your phone, this is where you can make it visible or invisible.

In any case, you can decide whether you want the Power button to lock automatically when your screen lock is enabled. This is also where you enter a lock screen message, which can help people return your lost phone. Additionally, you can set the amount of time that passes before your phone automatically locks.

Changing Your Lock Screen Wallpaper

While this phone has a utilitarian and resilient design, it also has a lovely display that’s worth making use of. It boasts a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels with 16M colors, so you can choose lock screen wallpapers that really leave an impression.

To set a lock screen wallpaper, do the following:

1. Enter the Wallpaper App

You can get there from your app screen, but you can also simply hold a blank area of your screen and choose the WALLPAPERS option.

2. Choose an Image for Your Lock Screen

This app has access to system wallpapers, as well as your photos and any images you have downloaded.

3. Select “Set Wallpaper”

Now, you can decide if you want to use the wallpaper on your home screen or your lock screen. You can also select both if you like sticking to a single wallpaper.

4. Tap on Lock Screen (or Both)

You can change your lock screen wallpaper at any time. If you dislike the stock options available, you can look into free wallpaper apps. They let you browse eye-catching images sorted by topic or style.

A Final Thought

The most important thing about locking your phone is to choose an unlocking method you’ll remember. Stick to simple passcodes and straightforward patterns. If you forget how to unlock your screen, there is no easy way to break through.
