Spaces
Transforming lock screens into smart widgets (Glance US launch)
OVERVIEW
Glance is a content consumption platform that reaches over 400 million smartphones across India and Southeast Asia, generating revenue primarily through lock screen ads. Now, Glance is entering the U.S. market with a more dynamic approach—transforming the lock screen from a passive content experience into a smart, interactive space.
Glance Spaces are live, customizable zones on the lock screen, allowing users to engage with content that aligns with their specific interests, much like widgets.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Since we're shifting to a utility-driven experience, we have to optimize the lock screen to act as a gateway for third-party apps and services while keeping users at its core.
