Mishaal Rahman for Android Authority was in a position to activate a function in Android QPR2 that is not but dwell: the power to resize widgets on the lock display.
The Pixel Tablet acquired the power so as to add widgets to the house display with the latest Pixel Drop. These widgets aren’t straight proven on the lock display however fairly in an area known as the “glanceable hub”. The function would not help you resize these widgets, however this appears to be altering.
Android 15 QPR1 added the function, however to this point, it is solely been out there to large-screen gadgets just like the Pixel Pill. That is as a result of these provide sufficient display actual property for widgets.

The widget space is accessible in case you swipe inward from the fitting fringe of the lock display. You may faucet the “customise” button to open the editor web page for widgets. There, you may add, take away, or reorder the widgets.
Android’s glanceable hub (the place the place the widgets are on the lock display) at the moment reveals a most of 6 widgets at a time. You may scroll horizontally for extra widgets. They’re positioned in a 2×3 grid, however no widget can occupy multiple cell (aside from the media participant card).
Android Authority was in a position to activate a resizing function hidden within the Android QPR2 Beta 1. This might permit sure widgets to take up more room and subsequently present extra information at a look.
It is seemingly that this function will seemingly land within the Android 15 QPR2 steady launch, which is predicted to come back in early March subsequent yr. In fact, we will see extra widget-related tweaks within the works as properly. The function is just not out there for telephones in the meanwhile.
I fairly like the power to resize lock-screen widgets. It is a good technique to get your lock display extra personalized to higher meet your wants.
