In the months since, we haven\u2019t heard much about it \u2014 until now. Google has finally listed the Create My Widget app on the Play Store, giving us a solid first look at what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>The Create My Widget app\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.yourwidget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Play Store listing<\/a> (first spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/09\/24\/google-create-my-widget-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">9to5Google<\/a>) has plenty of screenshots showing the app\u2019s UI on both Android phones and Googlebook laptops. The app will let users quickly create a custom widget by simply describing what they want in natural language, with Gemini handling the rest.<\/p>\n<p>The app will also show widget categories for users to try, including combo widgets, important dates, weather alerts, daily brief, and more. Each category will include several widget ideas to serve as a quick starting point. Users can also edit and refine the widgets they create before finally adding them to their home screen.<\/p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/all-googlebooks-announced-today-3712687\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Googlebook laptops<\/a>, the app could feature even more categories, such as events and travel, daily habits, and tools and tips. The widget creation flow will likely remain the same: users will be able to customize preset templates or describe their requirements in natural language, leaving the heavy lifting to Gemini.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"create my widget 5\"  alt=\"create my widget 5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/create-my-widget-5.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"create my widget 6\"  alt=\"create my widget 6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/create-my-widget-6.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The app\u2019s Play Store version is \u201c1.27.983746769.0-desktop_release,\u201d likely in preparation for the recently announced Googlebook laptops, which will start shipping soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
