How LokLok works Send a drawing with LokLok
Whatsapp dominates the mobile messaging market today, however there are many very interesting alternatives. This is particularly the case with LokLok, a curious lock screen for Android with which you can send and receive messages as well as photos..
How LokLok works
We thought we had seen everything in instant messaging , but that was without counting on the new LokLok app. At first glance you might think that it is a simple lock screen like there are hundreds on the Play Store. He has nothing. It is actually a new kind of messaging.
The user selects an image in his gallery, adds an annotation or a drawing if he wishes, chooses a recipient in his address book and clicks on the send button. A few seconds later, this friend will see this image displayed directly on his lock screen..
Unlike other instant messaging applications, the user does not have to unlock their phone to read their message. This is displayed directly on the lockscreen of your Android smartphone. You still have to watch out for prying eyes.
Like on Snapchat, messages sent from LokLok are fleeting. Once removed from your lock screen, you will no longer be able to view them. Indeed LokLok does not have any inbox or even history..
