Google has introduced a significant change in the Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 by allowing Pixel users to remove the At a Glance widget from their homescreens. This new option, located under the “Settings” menu after long-pressing the widget, includes an on/off toggle for “Show on home screen.” Users can now replace At a Glance with other apps and widgets, enhancing customization on their primary homescreen.
Despite this update, some devices updated to the beta version are not displaying the new setting. For those who keep the “Use At a Glance” feature enabled but turn off “Show on home screen,” the widget will still appear on the lockscreen and always-on display (AOD). Additionally, the latest update has adjusted how weather conditions are presented, now showing the condition icon and temperature before the day and date.
The stable version of Android 16 QPR3 is expected to launch in March 2026, likely aligning with the upcoming Pixel Feature Drop.
