Android 15 QPR2 could fix this lock screen widget oversight

[phillynews215]

• Android will soon let you resize the widgets you’ve added to the lock screen.
• When Google introduced lock screen widgets support in Android 15 QPR1, the company didn’t allow you to resize widgets, only add, move, or delete them.
• The ability to resize widgets on the lock screen isn’t live yet in the latest Android 15 QPR2 beta, but we managed to activate the feature ahead of its launch.

With the most recent Pixel Drop, the Pixel Tablet now has the ability to add widgets to the lock screen. These widgets aren’t shown directly on the lock screen but rather in a dedicated space called the “glanceable hub.” Although Android gives you a large space to place widgets on, it doesn’t let you decide how much space you want each widget to take up, only where they’re located. Fortunately, that could change in the next quarterly release of Android 15, as Google is working on letting you resize widgets on the lock screen.

Lock screen widget support was finally reintroduced in the last quarterly release of Android 15, i.e. Android 15 QPR1. The feature is only available on large-screen devices like the Pixel Tablet for now, as those devices offer enough screen real estate for widgets to make use of.
