This can be changed later from the settings:
Settings
> Screen lock and passwords
> Screen lock style
Select Magazine unlock or any other screen lock style that you may have downloaded.

If you want to cut an app off from using background data, go to:
Settings > Data traffic management > Networked apps.
Setup any restrictions as required. Keep in mind, cutting an app off from using background data will probably restrict the app from receiving push notifications.
