Why my lock screen widgets are not working?

Hi Angie,



You must have recently upgraded to Android 4.4 Kitkat. Lock screen widgets were by default enabled in Android 4.2 and Android 4.3. In the latest they need to be enabled in Android 4.4. Please use the down below steps to start using the lock screen widget.

(a) Launch Settings app.

(b) Select Security in the list.

(c) Here, search for lock screen widgets and then enable them.

The general mistake is to search for this option in display settings. But it is found in Security options.
