What if I tell you that you can launch your favorite apps straight from your Android lock screen? Well, the latest versions of Android allow you to add apps to the lock screen, but if you are using an older Android version, you need to use third-party apps.

Steps to Launch Your Favourite Apps From Android Lockscreen

There are quite a few apps on the Play Store that allow you to launch your favorite apps from your Android Lock Screen. Here we have shared the steps for the two best Android apps.

  1. Download and install Launchify on your Android. Once installed, open it on your Android.

  3. Now, go to the settings, located on the top. Enable the first three options, ‘Background Tracking‘, ‘Notification‘, and ‘Notification Icon on Top‘.

After you complete the step, it’s time to restart your Android device. After the reboot, you can easily access your favorite apps from the lock screen.
