Google Tests Option to Hide Pixel’s At a Glance Widget in Canary Build

A new Pixel launcher toggle points to long-requested home screen control with no confirmed rollout.

Overview

  • Android Authority found a “Show on home screen” switch for At a Glance in the latest Android Canary build of the Pixel launcher.
  • Turning the switch off currently changes nothing, indicating the feature is still under development.
  • Google has not announced if or when the option will reach stable Pixel releases.
  • Pixel owners have asked for the ability to remove At a Glance for years, often resorting to third-party launchers.
  • The widget provides date, weather, travel, and calendar info but takes prominent space and overlaps with a newer Material You variant.
