What's your phone lock screen?

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

Its just 2 guys having the time of their life
- Dawg
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:
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.
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.
A photo I took of an aircraft comming in to land this winter
- Those light trails came out clean, nice shot.
- I love it!
- Gorgeous. Is this stock on device?
  
  Other than the wallpaper itself, yeah.
Lock screen:

Home screen:
- Treasure planet??
My hamb eating a bit of salmon
I change mine a lot, the first is current but everything after that are used regularly
- Love the Van Gogh one.
- Better known for his other work
- Okay, no need to be rude
  
  I have a flip phone, if you see that it's your own fault.
I like it simple
- Lol same. Default lock screen wallpaper in LineageOS.
- Minimalism: It's the Least You Can Do!
- The Pillars, classy. 👌
- Now that's some JWST love
- Relevant name
  I have a few wallpapers like that too lol
- That's fucking sick (positive)
  
  It's the cover art for the boxed version of Sigil (Doom Mega Wad by John Romero!) - https://romero.com/sigil Art by Christopher Lovell. :)
- That’s a good one
- Gotta love that one
Just the “Nature” collection from iOS. I love oceans so it’s mainly oceans & seas from all places. (And occasionally snowy mountains)
- Those are some friendly calming letters.
- Just a heads up, I'd delete this to hide your email. Up to you
- Found a new signup email account!
The background changes to match the current weather.
- It’s the Forest app! I used it long ago.
  
  Yes it is!
- 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.
The defect on the lower edge of Jupiter is me blacking out my email; the original image is clean.
Yes, I do use my "emergency contact" text at the bottom as jokes related to whatever my lock screen is at the time
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 my pupper
A cool screenshot I took
- Just as a heads up: Nice email
  
  Ty
- I don't know why, but this one speaks to me
Self made with traced assets
A picture of the moon I took with my superzoom camera.
So.... What can you tell about these images? I'm also curious
I have a terrible memory for numbers so:
- This could be uploaded to a shitposting community with no changes and do quite well
  
  Well, I'll give that a bash.

- A notes app, what's that
  
  Need the pin to access them notes.
- Do not be afraid
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.
It reminds me of my girlfriend
- The widget is pixel pals if anyone is wondering. Made by Christian Selig the dev that brought us Apollo for Reddit
A picture of random stairs in croatia that my boyfriend took
A picture of me and my girlfriend in our flannel shape blanket hoodies. Can’t post it here because of obvious reasons.
I believe it fits well with my screen lock - a 6x6 pattern with invisible lines/dots
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.
Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.
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
Black.
- OLED-display-and-worn-out-battery gang, rise up!
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.
Hi, from the future. I just look up "oled wallpaper" and pick this one 3 years ago.
Swamp thing from the saga of swamp thing by Alan Moore
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!
I suppose it does say a thing or two about the person
Including their timezone and ISP
(art by unworn)
Default!
- You monster! Is it a new phone?
  
  I want to say yes, but it's probably been over a year now.
Me in this thread
All of the lock screen backgrounds and wallpapers on my devices are photos I've taken at various times with my (not-phone) camera.
- Same here
- Very nice, reminds me of mesquite
A picture of my amazing wife in her wedding dress.
A wallpaper of a wall with the center lighted.
Running Mando at the moment.
Same as background:
- Charge your phone
  
  Overmorrow. The charger is to far from the couch.
Black.
- Same, just black for me. No distraction.
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.
Diogenes chilling in his barrel!
Just the current weather live wallpaper
Currently the same picture as my background. For obvious reasons, I blocked out parts that I shouldn't be showing for privacy concerns.
Cyn from Murder Drones
I love nature images for my lock screens. I chose the jellyfish because they are so pretty and colourful, they look stunning in photographs.
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.
Just some brass.
Scavengers Reign
Bocchi-chan and the Tuvix ep of TGG playing, lol
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.
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
Raphaelesque Head Exploding by Salvador Dali
It's a picture of my daughter being cute (note: she's always cute).
A woman and child running from me in nature.
My cat
Really neat Bloodborne fanart that I found
- 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.
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.
Random every hour from a Wallpaper Engine playlist.
My cat
My kids
A random mountain that was in the default selection, since years.
A silly picture of me with my cat
Goatse
It's a geometric pattern my son and I crayoned onto the white paper table covering while waiting for our pizza.
Every 12 hours I have the Tasker app change my lockscreen wallpaper to the latest bing wallpaper
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.
I just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.
A default one.
I might be a Verstappen fan....
- amx
My doggo
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!
I cycle through the Cyberpunk 2077 tarot images. https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Tarot_Cards
- This makes me think that you might need more space
My kids. It randomly selects a photo from those containing either of my kids
I swap mine between images and videos of my pets.
It's actually a video, but here's a screenshot.
Same as my desktop. Black and white. Abstract. Readable.
A bike. Made of flowers.
