A Default Wallpaper

If your phone's lockscreen is simply one of the default wallpapers that came standard with your phone, you're someone who likes to keep things simple. You tend not to accessorize too much, and you prefer neat, clean lines over gaudy embellishments. You may also be a bit mysterious, with people having to work extra hard to truly get to know you. They should learn to judge you by your actions your words, rather than your appearance alone.

 

Your Celeb Crush

If your lockscreen is a pic of your celebrity crush, you're someone with big aspirations and romantic sensibilities.

A Pic With Friends

A lockscreen photo of you sharing a moment with friends is indicative of someone whose inner circle defines their world.

Chances are, your DMs are packed with people who truly care about you.

 

A Pic With Family

If your lockscreen is a pic of you and your family, you who always remembers where you came from.

While your friends might scoff at their parents' advice, you take every word to heart, and are always doing what you can to make them proud.

 

Your S.O.

Having your significant other's photo as your lockscreen indicates the closeness of your relationship and your desire to be seen as their other half.

A Nature Photo From the Internet

A lockscreen showing a nature photo from the internet usually corresponds with aspirations of travel and seeing the world. You haven't done everything you want to do just yet, but you have plenty of time.

A Piece of Art

If your lockscreen shows some kind of artwork, you're a creative mind who's often drawn to the abstract. It's probably something that speaks to you in ways that you can't truly articulate. You're a very visual person, and a splash of color or the direction of a stroke can evoke mighty feelings within your soul. The image encapsulates something you wish you created yourself—but maybe one day you'll be able to top it with your own artistry.

 

Your Pet

People who keep a photo of their pet as their lockscreen are often emotional beings. Since your pet can put a smile on your face no matter what you're dealing with, you love to have their smiling mug on your phone. Sometimes, that photo can be just the pickup you need to turn a bad day around. The simple pleasures in life can elicit a powerful response from you, and a photo can be all it takes to make all your worries melt away.

A Meme

If your lockscreen photo is always the latest funny meme you're obsessed with, you value humor in your life and just want to make people laugh. You're probably very internet-literate and are always up to date with the latest social media trends. You don't care if people share a sense of humor with you because you know what you like, and that's all that matters.
