I first reported back in January that Google was working on bringing back widgets to the lock screen. I believed at the time that this feature was intended for devices like the Pixel Tablet, and Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 lends credence to that theory.

While digging through the latest beta, I discovered that there's going to be a new "glanceable hub" toggle under "Hub Mode" settings. Given what I showed off in January, the name makes sense: You aren't actually placing widgets directly on the lock screen but rather swiping to open a new page where the widgets can be added.
