iOS 11: SETTINGS --> TOUCH ID & PASSCODE --> NOTIFICATIONS VIEW --> Access on Lock Screen (on)

Editing Details

Please add your name and a third party contact number and anyone who finds your phone will be able to see these details by right swiping to the Today view.

Open the app and you can add your name and a third partys phone number.

These details will allow someone who finds your lost phone to call and arrange to return it.

Alternatively you can replace the default message with your own custom free text message.
