But for now, let’s get back to your lock screen clock. If you go to the settings section and browse for the “Lock screen,” you’ll see a list of different features you can add to the lock screen of the Pixel or Pixel XL.

  • Dual Clock – shows both home and current time zones if you’re traveling
  • Clock Size – makes the clock easier to see by making it bigger or smaller
  • Show the Date – self explanatory; if you want the date shown, keep this checked
  • Camera Shortcut – allows you to instantly unlock to the camera
  • Owner Information – lets users add Twitter handles or other information to the lock screen, as easy identifiers if the phone gets lost
  • Unlock Effect – this changes the entire look and feel of the unlock effect and animation. We prefer watercolor.
  • Additional Info – allows you to add or remove weather and pedometer info from the lock screen

How to change Pixel and Pixel XL Lock screen Wallpaper 
All you need to do is press and hold an empty space on the Home screen. This will bring up the edit mode where you can add widgets, change home screen settings, and also change the wallpaper. Select on “Wallpaper”, then select “Lock screen.”

By default, the Google Pixel and Pixel XL have several different wallpaper options for the lockscreen, but you can always select “more images” and select from any image that you have taken on your Pixel or Pixel XL camera. Once you’ve found the image you want, hit the Set Wallpaper button.
