I'm not sure about the Pixel but in other devices running Android 10 you can change that message in settings - security & lock screen - tap the cog icon close to 'Screen lock' and select 'Lock screen message'. Worth a try.

On pixels with Android 10, go to settings, display, lock screen message.

 

[IMANUT46]

That option is not available on my pixel 3

 

[eric002]

Do you have Android 10?

What do you see in the Settings>Display>Advanced​ menu?

 

[Mikey D_PhD]

Settings > Display > Advanced > Lock Screen Display > Lock Screen Message

 

[B. Diddy]

Settings > Display > Advanced > Lock Screen Display > Lock Screen Message

The OP mentioned that he doesn't get that option in his phone.

 

[Mikey D_PhD]

Then I don't know because that option has been around since the original Pixel.

I have all the latest Android 10. I don't want to reinstall the software. It's not the end of the world. I just have to live with it.

It's strange that your phone tends to do these odd things without it being modified in any way. I wish I could have it in my hands to troubleshoot.:-\

I know. It's very frustrating for me but in the past I have been very lucky to have this newsgroup, especially you, to help me resolve my problems which was, in most cases, was user error. Early on, when I bought the phone, I had strange, annoying but not critical, problems, that indicated that a reinstall MIGHT resolve. I opted not to reinstall. I've worked with this and can live with it until if and when I get a new phone. Thanks again.

Why don't you post screen shots of as you go through the steps. I don't see how your phone could be the only one with out this option.

Can you also try booting into Safe Mode? https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2852139?hl=en

 

[IMANUT46]

My safe mode instructions do not work. What am I doing wrong? Also when you want to attach a screenshot when you are responding to a post, hit the paper clip and go to either ALBUM or Files IMAGES and click on the file to be attached..I don't have the paper clip showing.

 

[B. Diddy]

Which way are you trying to activate Safe Mode? While the phone is on, press the Power button to bring up the onscreen power options. Then long-press the Power Off option until you see the message about Safe Mode appear.

What about this? Open the settings, tap the magnifying glass top right, type 'Lock screen' and see which options you get.

Those options are the same I've already used.

But did you get the 'Lock screen message' option with that search? If so, tap it and change the message.

 

[Javier P]

Could you post a screenshot with the search options you get?
