Did they go somewhere? I remember having lock screen widgets back in like 2014.
Edit: oh yeah, the article says, “bringing back a feature it had scrapped nearly a decade ago”. Guess I didn’t notice because I never used them.
Probably bringing them back only because iOS has them now
Something feels off with the UI, maybe the rounding or padding?
I dislike all the empty space. Fortunately, other launchers can improve that.
Yeah, I think you’re right—it’s the padding.
Inconsistent rounding and font size is my bet
Get ready for security vulnerabilitiea like you nev- wait. We’ve done this before…
Get ready to relive security vulnerabilities that you’ve absolutely seen before!
I don’t understand lockscreen widgets… If you want to use your phone why not unlock it?
Someone please fill in the gaps here. Lol

why unlock it if i dont need to?
Then why lock it?
because i dont want others accessing my phone?
But they can access the widgets.
im fine with potentially giving strangers the ability to activate the flashlight or putting my phone in silent mode
Pretty cool, though this seems fairly limiting: “the “glanceable hub” isn’t accessed by swiping inward from the right edge of the lock screen, as it is on tablets. Instead, it’s accessed by triggering the screen saver, that is, by placing the phone on a charger or docking it.”
