The folks over at 9to5Google have discovered that Google is preparing a bunch of new capabilities for the At a Glance widget. Integration with Nest Doorbells and the battery life of your connected Bluetooth devices are among the new additions. You can check them all out below:
At a store: Shopping lists and Google Pay rewards cards when you’re in supported storesBedtime: Your upcoming bedtime from the Clock appConnected devices: Connection status and battery info for your Bluetooth devicesDoorbell: Show who’s at the door when your doorbell ringsFitness: Activity info from your fitness appFlashlight: Reminder when the flashlight is onSafety check: Safety check countdown from the Personal Safety appTimer & stopwatch: Timer and stopwatch info from the Clock app
At a Glance already offers quick access to a bunch of things on Android 12. It lets you see traffic and ETA (estimated time of arrival), weather info and severe weather alerts, calendar events and reminders, flight info from Gmail, and more. In some cases, it can show the QR code for your flight boarding pass as well. Google has also teased the ability to see your workout stats. Now, the company is making the widget even more useful by adding a bunch of new capabilities. Some of these features, like flashlight reminder and doorbell integration, will make things remarkably convenient for users.
Google prepares new capabilities for the revamped At a Glance widget
The evidence for these upcoming “At a Glance” features was discovered during an APK teardown of the latest version (S10) of the Android System Intelligence (ASI) app, which was previously known as Device Personalization Services. While there’s no way to tell when these features will go live, it should be safe to assume that they will be first available to Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users. The revamped At a Glance widget itself is currently exclusive to the latest Google phones. We will let you know once the new update rolls out to users, as well as when Google brings the new At a Glance widget to other Pixel phones.
