Locket Widget Makes Sharing Moments Feel Effortless and Personal

If you're tired of endless group chats but still want to share daily moments with close friends, Locket Widget is a refreshing alternative. It places a live photo widget right on your home screen where you and selected friends can exchange pictures and short videos instantly. Perfect for long-distance relationships, busy friend groups, or even parents keeping tabs on kids in a fun, low-pressure way.

My Full Experience

I’ve been using Locket Widget for about three months now, and it’s become one of those apps I open multiple times a day without even thinking. The concept is simple but brilliant: you add a friend (or a few), and every time one of you takes a photo or records a short video through the app, it pops up right on your home screen widget. No opening messages, no scrolling—just a glance at your phone to see what your friend is up to. One thing I really appreciate is how lightweight it feels. Unlike bloated social apps, Locket doesn’t demand your attention with notifications or likes. It’s just… there. My sister and I use it since she moved across the country—little things like her cat napping or my morning coffee feel more personal this way. The video feature (finally available on Android too!) is a nice touch, though I do wish notifications for messages were more consistent. Sometimes I miss a reply until I manually check. It’s not perfect—the widget can occasionally need a refresh, and a shared gallery or group feature would be amazing—but for casual, intimate sharing, it’s hard to beat. Great for teens, couples, or anyone who values visual connection over text.

I LOVE LOCKET! This is the only way I can connect to my long distance friends bc we dont talk anymore!! Very easy to use, and it has zoom in/out, flash, AND a short video option! my only complaint is that it would be better if the messages gave me notifications so I don't have to check them every 10 mins so I don't ghost anyone

I love being able to send pictures and short messages to friends with overwhelming our group chats. Love the little videos I can send too.

it's such an amazing app, let's you have a widget and connect with friends. It's amazing because you always feel connected to your friends even when they are away from you.

fun to chat with friends and send photos of everything its on my phone but its for my daughter to talk to her friends until she gets her own phone cause she isn't allowed yet by her father's rules and its fun friendly for all ages
