Apple iOS 16: Google to release lock screen widgets for its iPhone apps

The iOS 16 users will soon be able to use the Google widgets for several core products of Google like Gmail, Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Google News. With the new change, the users will be able to pull the widgets to the lock screen. The timeline for the rollout of the feature, however, is still to be announced.

The users will also be able to change the font and colour of the time and date display on the lock screen of their iOS 16 iPhone.

“You’ll be able to unlock your device to access your favourite Google features in just one tap — and even see some updates right on your Lock Screen,” Susie Wee, VP, Cross-Product of Experiences at Google wrote in a blog post.
