Hello All, any help is appreciated!

1--On April 30, I installed UI 7. The version and build numbers are below.

2--PROBLEM--My lock screen no longer shows up. I tap twice to unlock and I get the home page.

3--Went to "Edit Lock Screen" and my lock screen wallpaper from my gallery is still there. So I click "Done" and "changes applied to lock screen".

4--Then, 5 separate times, I go to edit play with the aettings: add/delete widgets, change wallpapers, add effects, etc. Each time "changes applied" is confirmed. Still no lock screen.

5--In addition, I wiped the cache partition in recovery mode, made sure that there are no updates pending, restarted the phone.

6--I.don't have Good Lock or such apps. AOD is off.

7--To unlock, I just tap and swipe. No password, biometrics, fingerprint, PIN, or pattern swipe. This is my work phone and it never leaves the house.

One UI version: 7.0
Android version: 15
Version: S918U1UEU6DYD9 / S918U1OYM6DYD9 / S918U1UEU6DYD9
Size: 4968.90 MB
Security patch level: April 1, 2025

Again, any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!

Have you gone to settings, security and then "trusted places" ?

I just figured out that if I set a pin my lock screen is functioning again. Guess we are forced to set up security now. Like you I had no need for it. If I turn off security the lock screen disappears again.
