Lock screen widgets for Android 16

Android 16 will introduce lock screen widgets for more tablets and smartphones

[{"selector":"#anim-2792fd96-41be-4e3c-9c8a-0480a3c1b345 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-23.170350065491178%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Currently, lock screen widgets are only supported on the Pixel Tablet

Google plans to bring back lock screen widgets, a feature removed in earlier Android versions

Lock screen widgets will be available shortly after the official Android 16 launch

On Pixel Tablets, users swipe right from the lock screen to access widgets

[{"selector":"#anim-21f11ab1-d986-4414-ab57-970dc31a487f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-65.10120685114047%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":8000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

On smartphones, widgets require activation of Android screensaver mode, available only when charging or docked

[{"selector":"#anim-82f3c4b0-9b0d-48cb-8050-f7f2c98ac552 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-63.90269834543746%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":8000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Google will allow developers to customize how the widget interface is triggered

[{"selector":"#anim-b7fa4986-236c-4b51-9adf-66eaf2456b57 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-20.863636125875495%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Android 16 beta does not currently enable lock screen widgets, but functionality was activated for testing

[{"selector":"#anim-1fb0c05b-8775-494b-8074-6435aaa4ab47 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.116883012987607%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The new OS is expected to launch on devices in June

[{"selector":"#anim-daa96a1a-0256-4417-9eb5-4e28ceb622f9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.116883012987607%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The phone manufacturers may implement lock screen widgets differently based on Google's developer options

[{"selector":"#anim-7d5531ff-054f-4720-a73f-ab01f4a6a53f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(9.116883012987607%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
