One of my favourite android features is being able to pin an app to the lock screen, it would be great if Niagara would replicate (I am Niagara convert, this is the ONLY feature I miss)
Good news: there is nothing to replicate here, and nothing you have to give up. Android's app pinning
keeps working with Niagara as your home app, we don't disable it. Pinning is an Android feature that
hangs off the system's Recent apps (Overview) screen, and that screen comes from Android rather than
from the launcher.
If the option doesn't show up for you, check Android Settings > Security & privacy > More
security settings > App pinning and switch it on. On some devices the preinstalled launcher provides
the Recent apps screen, which can make it behave differently with any third-party launcher, and that
side of things is explained in
Recent Apps Screen
Issues.
If you meant something other than Android's "Pin this app", let us know here and we'll take another
look.
