Make lock screen shortcut to replacement SMS app, not default

I want to use Google's "Messenger" app for SMS instead of the default "Messages" app. I know how to change the default SMS app. But when I swipe on the lock screen, it still opens the default "Messages" app. How do I change the app linked to from the lock screen?

HTC One M7

Re: Make lock screen shortcut to replacement SMS app, not default

Solved: the problem was that I was using a non-default launcher. You have to switch (temporarily) to the stock launcher to change the apps on the lock screen.
