Overview
- Android Authority found a new “Show on home screen” switch in the At a Glance settings within the latest Pixel Launcher Canary build.
- Turning the switch off currently has no effect, indicating the control is not yet wired up in test builds.
- Google has not announced the feature or provided timing, and it may not ship to stable releases.
- The persistent widget has long frustrated some Pixel owners, prompting use of third-party launchers to reclaim home screen space.
- At a Glance surfaces context such as weather, calendar events, and flight details, and its overlap with newer Material You widgets has drawn criticism.
