Android Lock Screen Customization

I recently got curious about Android lock screen customization because I’ve been using the same default one for years now. I’ve seen some people with really cool lock screens that show stuff like the weather, notifications in a nice layout, and even some fancy wallpapers or widgets. I didn’t even know you could do so much with it until now. I’m wondering, how do you guys customize your Android lock screens? Are there any apps or settings that are a must-try? Also, is it safe to use third-party apps for this? I just want my phone to look better and also be more functional. It would be awesome if you could share some tips, tricks, or even show off your lock screens for inspiration.
