How to Disable the Lock Screen On Android

April 6, 2016

Whether you have just bought yourself a fancy Android device, or using one which is secured, chances are you have a lock screen that you need to get out of the way, either by swiping, entering a pattern, PIN, password or fingerprint scan, before you can access your Home screen and apps. This is an absolute must if you want to keep your data away from prying eyes. The downside of this feature is that every time you want to access your apps, you have to perform an action, which is terribly annoying because you open your phone an infinite number of times a day.

If you aren’t too worried about your privacy and want to save yourself the hassle of swiping or tapping your screen every time you want to use it, you can completely disable the lock screen. All it takes is a small tweak to your settings. Let’s see how to disable the Lock screen on Android. These steps were performed on an Android device running Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
