Hi,
I have a few questions about the latest update on flip7:
- the wallpaper on the cover screen was visible fully when unlocked, but now there is brief (which can be diabled but that defeats the purpose of having a scnreen blank but only with a visible wallpaper) it gives an iOS style vibe which I am not a fan of hence, always had android but I don't get this obsession of looking more and more like iOS!
- secondly, if I add any widget as shown in screenshot2, the wallpaper gets blocked somehow and the screen goes blank.
- also, if I turn off brief and enable a widget alone, the backscreen again goes blank like shown in screenshot 2. The flex fearure and slide tray works, it's just the wallpaper issue.
Please advise if I am missing some settings and how to fix the blocked out wallpaper on the added widget screen.
Grateful for any help on this!
Thank you!

Hi Jean_Gray,
We understand your concerns regarding how the cover screen wallpaper behaves following the latest update. Many of our long-time Android users share your preference for full wallpaper visibility, and we appreciate how important these customisation options are to your experience.
The blank background behind widgets is an intentional layout change introduced in the new software version. To see if your wallpaper can be restored behind specific widgets, please try the following steps on your main screen:
1. Go to Settings > Cover Screen > Widgets.
2. Tap the specific widget causing the issue.
3. Turn off the option for "Show background" or select "Transparent" if available

Hi. I'm having the same problem and it's really bugging me. I want to be able to see my cover screen wallpaper when I unlock my phone. Instead the app widgets are showing. Very annoying in my opinion.
Also dislike the idea of swiping down to see notifications. Prefer swiping left like it was originally.
Hope you guys can fix this.
Warm Regards.
