Users look for screen lock under displays
We recently did a short round of user testing on Settings navigation. One of the results was that most participants looked for the screen lock setting under displays, rather than privacy where it is actually found. (We made an effort not to use words like "screen" or "display" when describing the scenario).
Having investigated this from a design perspective, I don't have a good solution, for the following reasons:
- Other operating systems don't put screen lock under displays
- Screen lock looks out of place amongst the other display settings
- If we have screen lock under displays, we should probably have screen blank under there too, which gets hairy.
This might be a problem without a good solution. Or maybe it's not that big a problem in the first place (if we can trust users to figure it out eventually, or to consult online docs or help). But it seemed like I should make a note of it somewhere.
