        <p><span class="bold">Tokyo/Singapore, August 28, 2023:</span> In today’s information heavy world, deciding what
            to watch, read or experience on the smartphone can be exhausting for consumers. Searching, downloading
            multiple apps, switching between these apps and scrolling through endless feed often tires the mind, leaving
            consumers drained. But what if there was a way to make it easier for consumers to enjoy the internet? What
            if the smartphone could be made smarter, simplifying the way consumers discover content and experiences on
            the internet? </p>

        <p>
            <span class="bold">Glance Lock Screen, one of the world’s leading smart lock screen platforms</span>, is
            doing just that, changing how hundreds of millions of consumers across the world engage with the internet.
            And for the <span class="bold">first time ever</span>, consumers of Japan’s biggest carriers and Android
            smartphone brands can experience this revolutionary smart lock screen platform as well.
        </p>

        <p>
            Glance is an AI-driven platform that offers a wide range of experiences <span class="bold">directly on the
                lock screens of
                Android smartphones</span>. These lock screen experiences include instant games, live game streaming,
            news, sports,
            lifestyle, fashion, entertainment, shopping, and live content. These premium and beautiful experiences are
            delivered through Glance’s partnership with reputed publishers, content partners, and developers. Glance’s
            AI personalises these experiences, ensuring that consumers find content that is most relevant and important
            to them, each time they glance or look at their lock screen. They do this <span class="bold">without needing
                to unlock their
                phones or download multiple apps or spend time searching for content.</span>
        </p>

        <p>
            <span class="italic">“With Glance we are unlocking the power of the lock screen, using AI to transform
                passive lock screens into smart lock screens,” </span><span class="bold">says Piyush Shah, Co-founder of
                InMobi
                Group and COO &amp; President of Glance. </span> <span class="italic">“Consumers check their lock screen
                over 100 times a day,
                but only use it for notifications, battery, and time. With Glance smart lock screen, they can stay on
                top of everything that interests them throughout the day. This could be a casual game that they love,
                latest score of a baseball game, the latest J-pop album launch, updates on their favourite celebrities
                and shows or news that matters to them – all without unlocking, downloading, or searching.” <span class="bold">Shah adds,</span>
                “We are truly honoured to launch in the Japanese market and hope to bring the best lock screen
                experience to consumers here.” </span>
