Android 15's latest beta finally sees lockscreen widgets return — but there’s a pretty big catch

Google Event.

There’s been a lot of talk about lockscreen widgets potentially making a comeback on certain devices running Android 15. The latest version of the beta, Android 15 QPR Beta 1, has more or less confirmed that it will be happening very soon. All thanks to introductory text and tips appearing in the software.

This was uncovered by Mishaal Rahman at Android Authority, who speculates that the new introductory text could be a sign Google is “polishing” the lock screen widgets feature for general release. If that’s the case we could see it arrive in beta within the next few months, and then release to the public at some point in the near future.
