Android already offers lock screen widgets, so it's possible FB Home will include something to that effect that would show even while the phone is locked.

It would be entirely optional to use that widget, however, unless FB Home is able to replace the lock screen itself. As far as I know, that can't be done without rooting the device.



It's pretty clear from the website and the coverage that it does replace the lock screen itself: https://www.facebook.com/home

Now, whether or not it replaces the lock screen when it has a passcode/security, is a different story.

But, by default, your FB info is available just by tapping the unlock button/home button BUT BEFORE you unlock.
