Google is testing a new toggle switch for Pixel phones based on user feedback.

Some Pixel users don't want to be overloaded with information on their home screens.
It appears Google is developing a new feature for Pixel users. The latest Android Canary build, spotted by Android Authority, includes a toggle in the At a Glance widget settings, within Android System Intelligence version B.17.playstore.pixel10.825046611, that may allow users to remove the widget from the home screen.
The setting, labeled "Show on home screen," would supposedly remove At a Glance when toggled off. Android Authority has a screenshot of the toggle, but its release date is unknown. The widget provides alerts for severe weather and earthquakes, flashlight status, and a shortcut to control it.
To see the widget's capabilities, long-press an empty area on the home screen. A popup will appear with "Dismiss," "Settings," and "About this content" options. The "Settings" menu lets users manage content like weather, commute, and events.
Users can enable or disable custom info on the widget with toggles, including:
* Weather
* Air quality
* Severe weather alerts
* Earthquake alerts
* Upcoming events
* Work profile
* Food and household orders
* Package delivery
* Commute traffic and travel time
* Time to leave for appointments
* Ridesharing
* Travel information for planes and trains
* Bedtime
* Fitness
* Safety check
* Timer & stopwatch
* Connected devices' connection and battery
* Cross-device time
* Doorbell camera images from Nest or Ring
* Flashlight
The extensive list demonstrates the widget's usefulness for information lovers. Currently, disabling At a Glance requires a long-press on the home screen, then settings, and toggling off "Use At a Glance." This only partially disables the widget, as the time and date remain visible.
The "Show on home screen" toggle, when disabled, would remove At a Glance entirely. While Android Authority has a screenshot of this toggle, its release date remains unclear. The widget alerts users to severe weather and earthquakes, and also controls the phone's flashlight.
To understand the amount of information available via the At a Glance widget, long-press an empty area on the home screen. This prompts a popup with "Dismiss", "Settings", and "About this content". Select "Settings" to manage weather, commute, and event information.
Toggle buttons allow you to enable or disable the following custom info:
* Weather
* Air quality
* Severe weather alerts
* Earthquake alerts
* Upcoming events
* Work profile
* Food and household orders
* Package delivery
* Commute traffic and travel time
* Time to leave for appointments
* Ridesharing
* Travel information for planes and trains
* Bedtime
* Fitness
* Safety check
* Timer & stopwatch
* Connected devices' connection and battery
* Cross-device time
* Doorbell camera images from Nest or Ring
* Flashlight
The comprehensive list shows the widget's scope. Currently, disabling At a Glance involves a long-press, selecting settings, and toggling off "Use At a Glance". However, the time and date still show on the home screen.
