While Android as a platform is usually noted for its flexibility and customizability, it goes without saying that Google’s approach is a bit more limited in some regards. Take for example the At a Glance widget, which for the longest time has been stuck on the homescreen of many an Android user, although that finally changes with the latest Pixel update.
As per the March 2026 update for Pixel phones, users can now remove the At a Glance widget from their home screens, which allows for more space when resizing other widgets and moving around icons. That being said, it’s still fixed on the lock screen. If you’re looking to shake up your home screen, then here’s how to go about doing it.
Tap and hold on your Pixel’s home screen
Tap on Home settings
Tap on the Gear icon beside At a Glance
Turn off the Show on home screen toggle
