Setting up Glance on your Android lock screen depends on your device’s brand and software. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help:
—
### **1. Check Device Compatibility**
– **Glance** is pre-installed on devices from brands like **Xiaomi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, or OnePlus** (India/region-specific models).
– If your device isn’t from these brands, consider third-party alternatives (see **Step 5**).
—
### **2. Enable Built-in Glance (For Supported Devices)**
#### **Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco Phones:**
1. Go to **Settings** > **Always-on display & Lock screen**.
2. Tap **Lock Screen** > **Advanced settings**.
3. Enable **Glance** or **Lock Screen Magazine**.
4. Customize content preferences (news, weather, etc.).
#### **Realme/Oppo Phones:**
1. Open **Settings** > **Wallpaper & Lock Screen Magazine**.
2. Enable **Lock Screen Magazine** (Glance may be integrated here).
3. Toggle **Auto-Update** and select content categories.
#### **Samsung Phones:**
– Glance isn’t native, but use **Always On Display (AOD)** for similar features:
1. Go to **Settings** > **Lock Screen** > **Always On Display**.
2. Customize clock style and notifications.
—
### **3. Permissions & Settings**
– Ensure **Location** is enabled for weather updates.
– Allow Glance to display content:
– Go to **Settings** > **Apps** > **Glance** > **Permissions**.
– Enable **Location**, **Storage**, and **Display over other apps**.
– Disable battery optimization for Glance (if content doesn’t refresh).
—
### **4. Troubleshooting**
– **Glance not showing?** Restart your device.
– **Outdated software?** Check for OS updates (**Settings > System Update**).
– **App issues?** Update Glance via **Google Play Store** or clear its cache (**Settings > Apps > Glance > Storage > Clear Cache**).
—
### **5. Third-Party Alternatives**
If Glance isn’t supported:
– **Google’s “At a Glance” Widget**: Use a launcher like **Nova Launcher** to add it to your home screen.
– **Microsoft Next Lock Screen**: Offers news, calendar, and tasks (download from Play Store).
– **Niagara Launcher**: Provides a minimalist Glance-like feature.
—
### **6. Security Settings**
– Ensure your lock screen security (PIN/pattern) allows content display:
– **Settings** > **Security** > **Lock Screen Preferences** > Enable **Show all content when locked**.
