LokLok

In the field of messaging applications not everything is written. And it is that despite the fact that WhatsApp continues to reign and the numerous alternatives that arise, it seems that instant messages are not everything. Or at least that is what the LokLok application proposes, which surprised us in the last edition of the Mobile World Congress introducing a new communication channel through smartphones: your lock screen.

This is a communication app that allows you to keep a group of contacts together under the lock screen. In this way, and as if it were a blackboard, it is possible to exchange all kinds of messages written with your finger , drawings, diagrams or any other issue. Immediately and just one step away from being read after picking up the terminal. And it is not even necessary to unlock it to access this kind of community whiteboard

Something that those responsible try to offer in just a few hours to avoid saturating the service and offering it in a functional way, still correcting any defect and polishing its operation before being open for all users.Therefore, it is necessary to enter the account data of Google and send said request.

When it is received, the user can start testing LokLok The application is designed to put groups or contacts in contact one by one one. Of course, the user can only be in a single group at a time, so you must first choose how you are going to use this application and who to send invitations to for them to join. In this way, and each one with its own lock screen background, it is possible to have a synchronized whiteboard silently each time one of the members makes a stroke .

Just tap in the middle of the lock screen to start drawing. Trace any drawing or write a message with your finger and press the tick to send the image, which in just a couple of seconds appears in the rest of group screen.When you want to erase something, a swipe of two fingers at the same time allows you to use the tool rubberof delete. In addition, the user can take photographs and paint on them to send funny messages, suggestions, or anything else.
