Lock screen issues

On Android 7.0 and above, Pitch Black Wallpaper uses the official Android APIs to set both the Home screen and Lock screen wallpaper to pitch black. On Android devices running versions older than Android 7.0, as a general rule, the Android wallpaper that is displayed on the Home screen is also displayed on the Lock screen. However, some device manufacturers use a separate image for the Lock screen, and they offer no standard way to change this image from an app.

If your Lock screen is still not black after running Pitch Black Wallpaper, you can download a pitch black wallpaper image and manually set it as the Lock screen wallpaper. For best results, choose an image resolution that is close to your device's screen size. To download an image, long-press (or right-click on a desktop browser) the link and select "Download link" or "Save link as".
