Google killed off lock screen widget support on Android nearly a decade ago, but it could be coming back in Android 15.
  • Android used to let you place widgets on the lock screen, but this feature was killed off in Android 5.0 Lollipop.
  • Code within the latest Android 14 QPR2 beta suggests that this feature might return in some form.
  • We don’t have the full details on what lock screen widget support might look like in Android 15, nor whether third-party widgets may be supported.
