Google has announced changes to its widgets system on Android to help app developers reach their users more easily. Widgets provide at-a-glance views of important information on the home screen, such as weather or calendar events. A well-designed widget can increase user engagement with an app and keep it top of mind.

Improving widget discovery is a priority for Google, with new features coming to Android devices and Google Play. A visual badge on the Play Store will indicate which apps offer widgets, making it easier for users to find them. Users can also search for apps with widgets using a dedicated filter on Google Play.

Google is introducing a curated Editorial Page to showcase well-designed widgets and educate users on their value. This will help developers access a wider audience and potentially increase app installs.
