Pixel Lock Screen Widgets Now Live
Pixel phones now have a new feature that lets you add widgets to your lock screen.
This means you can see useful information, like the weather or stock prices, without unlocking your phone.
To use this feature, go to your phone's settings, find the 'Display & touch' section, and then select 'Lock screen.'
Turn on the 'Widgets on lock screen' option.
Once enabled, you can add, resize, or remove widgets by swiping left on your lock screen.
You can add up to three widgets per page, but remember that anyone can see these widgets, so avoid adding sensitive information.
This feature works best on Pixel 10 series phones with the latest update.
Pixel phones with Android 16 QPR2 or later now support lock screen widgets.
Users can enable the feature through Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen.
Default widgets include Pixel Weather and Google Finance.
Users can add, resize, or remove widgets by swiping left on the lock screen.
Up to three widgets can be added per page, with multiple pages supported.
