Horrific:
Glance’s app is a full-screen takeover of the lock screen. It looks a lot like a generic swipe-heavy social network, like TikTok or Snapchat Discover, but it only shows content from Glance. Imagine if every time you turned on your phone, you were first presented with an auto-playing video from a popular off-brand TikToker, and you get the idea. The company’s website promises “unparalleled reach” and “authentic engagement” from its captive audience. Naveen Tewari, founder and CEO of InMobi, gave a rather dystopian description of his company’s strategy to Forbes India, saying, “Consumers will move from seeking content to consuming what is shown to them.”
I see, I see :). Thank you! I have free time tomorrow, so I’ll give this doohickey a look.
Just make sure to back up your original OS before installing, in case something goes wrong. It should be part of the instructions, but let me know if it isn’t
Also worth mentioning that doing this might trip some security mechanism on the phone, which could decrease its value if you wanted to sell it with the stock OS
