✔️Allow you to perform any notification action such as archive gmail, callback a missed call, control music playback and many more.
✔️Allow you to directly reply a message (on support apps including WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook messenger and many more) directly from the notification.

*Important Node
Unfortunately since Android 8.0 NiLS can no longer draw on top of the lock screen due to Android restrictions. I'm working on a full standalone lock screen that will be able to replace Android lock screen but it will take a while.
