Lock screen app changing

hello,

i wanted to change the lock screen using next lock screen app, the lock screen from microsoft. after installing it i am having a problem, with the next lock you need to swipe down to be able to put the pin to unlock your phone. when i do this right now it doesnt take me to the screen to put the pin it takes me to the "old" lock screen from xperia and then i need to swipe to left to finaly acces the screen to put the pin.

is it possible to eliminate this middle screen step?

thanks

you could set lockscreen to "none" in Settings > Lock screen & security > Screen lock.

that said, keep in mind that third party lockscreen apps are less secure than the default one. by design, Android doesn't support changing lockscreen by apps, so the developers use hacky workarounds to make it work. because of that, it's often easy to bypass the lockscreen displayed by an installed app.
