Managing the lock screen on Huawei Honor

Important to know: The lock log is a phone screen that contains a beautiful photo, the current time, a greeting message and, possibly, a notification from one of the applications.

To switch to the Lock History management mode, you need to swipe up from the bottom edge of the lock screen. When swiping in other directions, you will be prompted to enter a password to unlock the device.

In the Lock Log management mode, you can scroll through the Lock Log images by swiping right or left.

At the bottom of the screen there are two rows of icons, of which:

• the bottom row of icons are the “quick menu” icons;
• the second row of icons is the Lock Log management icons.

How to turn off the unlock log back

You can remove the unlock log on Honor by setting a specific photo as wallpaper. This is done like this:

• Go to the gallery.
• Choose any picture you like.
• In the lower right corner, click on the " More " icon.
• In the menu that appears, select “Install as”.
• Next “ Wallpaper (Gallery) ” and click on the checkmark in the upper right corner.
• In the menu that appears, select “Lock Screen” and wait for the installation process to complete.

Now, instead of changing wallpaper, one picture will be installed.

The second way to disable them is to change the lock screen style. To do this, you will need to follow the steps shown in the screenshots below.

What to do if journal unlocking does not work

The main reason why the function stopped working is due to the wrong theme. That is, you installed the style with an error, or it does not imply changing the images. Typically, the standard theme in modern smartphone models already involves demonstrating different images. If the display stops working, try changing the style or restarting the device.
