Microsoft updates Next Lock Screen app for AndroidFebruary 13, 2015 - 11:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft has updated its Next Lock Screen app for Android with support for PIN and pattern-based locking. In addition, accidental unlocking by pressing the home button has now been addressed, The Next Web reports. The app is now available in Spanish and Chinese (Mandarin), and provides improved battery usage and performance. The business-focused lock screen replacement is a product of Microsoft Garage, an initiative that encourages the company’s employees to experiment and build innovative apps. The app update is a result of developers following user feedback, and is a sign that Microsoft is keen on building software for platforms beyond its own, TNW says.
