Overview
- Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 adds a native toggle that removes the At a Glance widget from the home screen.
- Users can hide it on the home screen while retaining date and weather on the lock screen and Always‑on Display.
- To change the setting, long‑press the widget, open Settings, and adjust the new Show on home screen and Use At a Glance toggles.
- The beta is available now through the Android Beta Program; enrolling is easy, but downgrading requires a device wipe, so a full backup is advised.
- The release also introduces a flashlight brightness slider and an option to swap Back and Recents navigation buttons, with some early reports of Microsoft apps crashing in Work Profiles.
