Android’s upcoming lock screen widgets feature has gotten closer to launch in Android 15 QPR1, and we have evidence.
Android’s upcoming lock screen widgets feature now has introductory text and tips in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1.
This suggests the feature is nearing launch.
When the feature launches, it’ll only be available on tablets.
When Google confirmed our report that the Android 15 update for Pixel devices won’t roll out until October, some of you were disappointed, while others were content with the news. After all, the delay gives Google more time to make the update more stable. Plus, there aren’t really that many new features for users in the current beta anyway, so what are you missing out on? While it’s true there isn’t a lot to look forward to in the initial release of Android 15, the first quarterly platform release looks to finally bring the long-awaited lock screen widgets feature.
Earlier this year, I first revealed that Google is looking to bring Android widgets back to the lock screen. I’ve been tracking the progress of the lock screen widgets feature throughout the Android 15 beta period, and it’s significantly evolved since I first enabled it in January.
