Android 15 (One UI 7) to bring native lock screen widgets feature

Samsung made the lock screen widgets feature available via Good Lock’s Lock Star module. However, it looks like the Android 15-based One UI 7 may come with native lock screen widgets feature for Galaxy devices.

You may have known that Google recently released Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 update for Pixel devices. A code within the new Beta update suggests that Android 15 (and probably One UI 7 too) might bring lock screen widgets feature.

Android developer Mishaal Rahman managed to activate the communal space on the lock screen of his Pixel device. Tapping a pencil icon allowed him to add widgets from Google Calendar, Google Clock, and the Google App.

Widgets were brought to the lock screen, but not in a useful manner. While widgets appeared in the communal space of lock screen, but didn’t work until the device got unlocked, and the clock UI was also overlapped.

It is expected that Google might finish the development of this functionality before the Android 15’s Public Beta Program begins in May or June. This change will help One UI bring the ability to Galaxy devices as well.
