Lock Screen Contact Widgets lets you personalize your lock screen like never before. Display your contacts on the Lock Screen and tap to quickly call, message or FaceTime. Toggle and choose to remove the text, image and background. All Lock Screen widgets are supported. If you have any questions or feedback, I'm all ears. Lock Screen Contact Widgets was created by an individual in his free time, and I’d love to know what you think. I’m available through Twitter @elohohel. The app may take some time to show on the Lock Screen - restarting the device may help.
