I think google should add more widgets with Android 15
Luckily it's in one UI @@user-sw6qj2vq7j
more and with better design
Definitely
Which ones?
Live widgets too
Funny part is that google built better widgets for iPhone than android !!🙄
Their weird relationship with apple..
@karthikk273 Which ones are you talking about?
Works the other way too. The Apple Music widget is way better on Android ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@iseptimushow?
@@mightyskull every google apps in iphone has better widgets than android !!
Google's calendar widget seriously needs to be updated. I don't want the full calendar widget to take up most of the screen.
Then resize it
Felt weird seeing my profile and comment at the top of a video like that. 😱
Also the Google drive widget is actually awesome! I should've been using that considering how often I'm pulling and uploading files. (Keep is cool too but I keep the app itself on my first home screen.)
Nice damien :D good stuff!!
I use the Calendar Schedule widget daily for a quick glance of what's happening for my family for the next week or so, very useful
stacked widgets are amazing
i use: samsung sleep, steps, battery of my devices
Same here
Absolutely loving this list. Many thanks. Subbed!
Since you guys are doing a video for widgets I just remembered something else adjacent to this you could do a video about.
You should also discuss the different shortcuts you can add in the notification shade. I have a quick remote toggle for Google TV in the notification shade as well as one for quick toggling VPNs.
I really luv Keep it's just brilliant for notes of any kind!
cool video im an iPhone user but I like looking at what's new with the android ecosystem :)
Why has Google completely ditched its April Fools Day pranks and fake products? Those were fun.
Is it possible to replace the old "At a glance" with the new one?
How do you customise the google maps widget? My options say "Home, Work, Resturants, Clothing" but yours say "Home, Parks, Resturants, Petrol"??
I don't need a clock widget when I can always see the time on my status bar, why do you use it?
Do you know how to add the weather widget without turning on location settings? I’m running the latest android. Thanks,
At a glance is cool when it works, the Lyft feature was nice but hasn't worked once since I upgraded to the 8 from my 6a. It's functionality with certain things seems completely random and is never consistent unless it's alarms and stuff like that.
Where can i get the wallpapers of the video??
The At a Glace widget works perfectly like on a pixel phone on both my Samsung and my Xiaomi.
Nice thumbnail :)
Damien's thumbnail game 🔥
I use Calendar & battery widget on my Pixel 6a.
And the default At a Glance.
The calendar though takes too much space.
the content we like
I really like the at a glance widget on my pixel phone
Surprised not to see Action Blocks on the list
Is there a widget that shows the content of a web page? e.g. I set the url and the widget shows the content of the page
Maps, calendar.. main widget's I use lol.
The biggest issue with at a glance is it won't show whats upcoming. And I don't use pixel accessories, so for me its pretty useless at the moment. And not being able to remove it from my pixel phone is frustrating. And google calendar needs more and better looking widgets.
Where can I get that green wallpaper? not the "google-minerals" green...
Where is the link to download each widget...
I can't place the at a glance widget at rhe top of rhe home screen. There's already one there that cant be moved. Pixel 8 pro.
I have never seen these google widgets. Interesting. I like some, but the only disadvantage I think is that the widsgetsc don't resize well. I wish all widgets dynamically resised an rewrap trkst accordingly to functionally fit the chosen widget size, from small to medium to large. Currently if I pin google widgets, they take quite some space, ate difficult to make a clean and comprhensive design of widgets on a page, often needing several pages, which makes the homescreen look and navigate chaotically. I understand function over form, but it would ne nice of there was more attention of function fitting form, too. I haven't seen a meaningful change on this front over the last years with material design. In that regard third party apps sometimes have great alternatives. I think the 4 most used android widgets for me are a kwgt date widget. Msft email widget, msft to do widget and whatsapp widget.
I use Keep and all it's widgets all the time.
It bothers me that the At a Glance widget doesnt use Material U like other google widgets
On my iPhone I use Google search bar, it is amazing and have fewer problems than Siri
Hi Everyone - is it possible that one of you have and would share that beautiful green / mint wall paper that is on this video an that I used in this article - if not share them let me now where to get it. I would love to rock it on my minty fresh 8 pro. Best regards Dennis from Denmark
Can chromeOS add widgets?
Apples calendar app hasn’t been updated since it came out on the first iPhone… the calendar widget is better than the app lol
The "at a glance" widget on my Sammy isn't worth the space it takes up...
Your time stamps does not match with the video. There is no time stamp of fitbit or google health but is rather synced with google TV. Time stamp meant for honorable mention takes us to google TV.
You're back?
He has, for a while now.
i use android 13 oppo f19 and i cant use all the widgets 😢 bcz their is a bug in the software and the widgets don't appear as they should They overlap or get wayyy too small or too big. The colors malfunction and just so much more I can't explain it but its really sad. Widgets were the reason i was excited for android 12 but when it came it wasn't what i expected
Battery widget the most on my pixel 7 and iphone 15
I use the weather widget and Nord VPN widget.
I'll add Samsung Email (which isn't available on other phones) is the best email and the widget is brilliant compared to Xiaomi's effort 4x4 'grey' 🤦♂️..
UA-cam widget is cool 😎
#TeamPixel
The only google widget I use is the Google calander widget.
You can turn At a glance off though.
On pixel? No you can't
Well, you can't turn off in the sense that: the persistent widget goes away.
What you're turning off is it's ability to show you more info than simply the date.
After "turning it off" in the pixel launcher settings, the widget itself will still be on the first home page but will now be extremely dumb.
@@JstormZx I said turn off, not delete.
@@Gary0557 lol
I have new beta 14 ap 21.40305.005 do you know what new
9:50 - I like the Samsung battery widget better. It shows a small circle graph for each device connected, with a picture of the device inside the circle.
Each device's icon only takes up 1 "icon" space on the home screen, instead of a huge bar-graph area like the Pixel.
The Chapter are wrong in this video
Good Chennal
nothing widgets are far better and aesthetic
I’m an iOS viewer
can you make video on android digital wellbeing. it lacks lot of feathers comparted with ios and still in beta. One of the major reasons to feeling like wanted to leave android
Lol I hardly use 3,4 widget max
I mean, who uses widgets on android these days anyway? it feels like android users moved on with it, whereas iphone users are getting their hands on it just now
First view 🎉
Google play removed poly bridge 1 from the store. Here we go again and again and again!
They all crap. Do a video of the best none google widhets please
mediocre at best these widgets.....
Dude why the fuc k doesn’t apple have more widgets?
The conversation widget for android is so sick.
Reminds me of aol instant messenger with little windows u can get notifications on your Home Screen.
Apple doesn’t even have a messenger widget of any kind for the Home Screen. Apple is still coming out with widgets and Lock Screen widgets that android has already had for years! lol. I love look and design of Apples iPhones more as well as their cameras. However apples iOS sucks!!!
IOS has better widgets
😂
nothing os has more interesting widgets❤
