• Newly introduced different line and colour styles for a more personalised lock screen experience with invigorating images
• Newly added various brushes and strokes and colour tweaking capabilities

However, before you install the update, you should be aware of its issues. To begin with, the time on the AOD is presented oddly, and the location information is missing from the video details. And if you clone WhatsApp using the App Cloner function, the cloned version may not play sound while wireless headphones are connected to the mobile device.
