Owners of Google Pixel devices are experiencing issues with homescreen widgets after upgrading to Android 17. Following the recent stable update released earlier this week, many users reported that previously available widgets have disappeared from their homescreens and the widget picker. This problem, which has been noted since February through the Android 17 Beta program, appears to affect widgets installed before the update.
The Work Profile feature is believed to be linked to the issue, as users have found that disabling it restores the missing widgets. However, re-adding a Work Profile may cause the problem to recur. Google has acknowledged the bug and confirmed that a fix is forthcoming in an upcoming software update. Workarounds such as disabling or archiving affected applications have provided temporary relief for some users.
As the situation develops, users are advised to monitor for official updates from Google regarding the resolution of this issue.
