Potty training

So my little one will be 3 in October and we are currently working on potty training. He never really tells us when he needs changed and will also lie when we ask him if he needs changed or to go potty. So i decided to try having him go naked around the house hoping that would help. Instead he gets very upset and wants his diaper on and will cry if I won’t let him. It only lasts about 5 minutes but I was just wondering if any other mommas had experience with this and are there ways to fix this or make the transition easier?
