This morning, Nokia surprisingly released their new Glance Background app in Beta form. It’s shocking because for all the things we knew about upcoming changes to Glance (e.g. color choices, notifications) not one single leak pointed to this ability.

The app simply lets you add a background to your Glance screen and while in theory it’s simple, in reality it’s one of the coolest things we’ve seen.

Enough chitchat though, you can read our earlier article on it here but for now, sit back and see what this app does in the real world.

Don’t have the beta Glance Background just yet? Pick it up here in the Store.
