A lock screen replacement is nothing new for Android devices, but Microsoft has officially added to the mix today with its own “Picturesque” app. With the new app, users will gain the big, beautiful image that’s generally reserved for the bing.com landing page on their lock screen, as showcased above. The image on Bing’s website changes daily, and the app will change accordingly as well. Users will also be able to choose from an image that was previously showcased within the previous six days, or shake their phone to update the image they’re looking at. As is presented in the image above, there’s also an obvious Bing search bar at the top of the display. The lock screen replacement will also show weather information, missed call notifications, news, and even text messages. More than that, though, the lock screen replacement will actually let you turn on and off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and activate your device’s flash as well. Picturesque is available now through the Google Play store for free. Download link
