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

Home screen:
My hamb eating a bit of salmon
- Treasure planet??
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
- This one is awesome!
- Okay, no need to be rude
  
  I have a flip phone, if you see that it's your own fault.
- Now that's some JWST love
- The Pillars, classy. 👌
- Relevant name
  I have a few wallpapers like that too lol
I like it simple
- Minimalism: It's the Least You Can Do!
- Lol same. Default lock screen wallpaper in LineageOS.
- 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. :)
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.
- That’s a good one
- Gotta love that one
- Just a heads up, I'd delete this to hide your email. Up to you
- Found a new signup email account!
A picture of my pupper
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.
- It’s the Forest app! I used it long ago.
  
  Yes it is!
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.
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.
Yes, I do use my "emergency contact" text at the bottom as jokes related to whatever my lock screen is at the time
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.
The defect on the lower edge of Jupiter is me blacking out my email; the original image is clean.
A cool screenshot I took
- Just as a heads up: Nice email
  
  Ty
- I don't know why, but this one speaks to me
Its an animated gif of Stargate Command's Dial up device
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.
A picture of the moon I took with my superzoom camera.
Self made with traced assets
I believe it fits well with my screen lock - a 6x6 pattern with invisible lines/dots
- Do not be afraid
- Snap
  
  This is your first comment on a 1 year old account lol
A picture of random stairs in croatia that my boyfriend took
So.... What can you tell about these images? I'm also curious
- Your nerd quotient.
It reminds me of my girlfriend
Black.
- OLED-display-and-worn-out-battery gang, rise up!
- The widget is pixel pals if anyone is wondering. Made by Christian Selig the dev that brought us Apollo for Reddit
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.
Swamp thing from the saga of swamp thing by Alan Moore
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
Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.
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.
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
Hi, from the future. I just look up "oled wallpaper" and pick this one 3 years ago.
A wallpaper of a wall with the center lighted.
Me in this thread
I suppose it does say a thing or two about the person
Including their timezone and ISP
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!
(art by unworn)
A picture of my amazing wife in her wedding dress.
Really neat Bloodborne fanart that I found
Default!
- You monster! Is it a new phone?
  
  I want to say yes, but it's probably been over a year now.
Scavengers Reign
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.
Just the current weather live wallpaper
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.
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.
Same as background:
- Charge your phone
  
  Overmorrow. The charger is to far from the couch.
Cyn from Murder Drones
Running Mando at the moment.
I love nature images for my lock screens. I chose the jellyfish because they are so pretty and colourful, they look stunning in photographs.
Currently the same picture as my background. For obvious reasons, I blocked out parts that I shouldn't be showing for privacy concerns.
Diogenes chilling in his barrel!
- 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.
It's a picture of my daughter being cute (note: she's always cute).
A woman and child running from me in nature.
Just some brass.
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.
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
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.
My cat
Raphaelesque Head Exploding by Salvador Dali
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 just use the default iOS 18 wallpaper and lock screen - no changes, no extra widgets.
Random every hour from a Wallpaper Engine playlist.
A random mountain that was in the default selection, since years.
My cat
My kids
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.
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.
Every 12 hours I have the Tasker app change my lockscreen wallpaper to the latest bing wallpaper
A default one.
I might be a Verstappen fan....
- amx
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
My doggo
- This makes me think that you might need more space
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.
I swap mine between images and videos of my pets.
A bike. Made of flowers.
My kids. It randomly selects a photo from those containing either of my kids
Mst3k
It's actually a video, but here's a screenshot.
