- Google is preparing to add more granular controls for the size of the clock on the lock screen.
- We spotted a new UI that lets you customize the weight, width, roundness, and slant of the current clock style on the lock screen.
- This feature isn’t live yet in the latest Android beta, but we managed to partially activate it to get a glimpse at what’s coming.
Last year’s Android 14 update introduced some exciting new customization features for Pixel users: the ability to customize the lock screen. Android 14 added the ability to not only customize the two shortcuts at the bottom of the lock screen but also change the style of the clock. Google currently offers 9 clock styles that can be lightly customized in terms of color and size, but the company looks to be working on much more granularity for those size options in a future release of Android.
We’re currently digging through the second beta for the next quarterly release of Android 15 that Google just released. While looking through the update, we noticed that Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2 continues work on the new version of the Pixel wallpaper app that we first spotted back in August. The new version of the Pixel wallpaper app is still not live yet in the latest beta, but Google has made some progress that brings it closer to launch. For example, we noticed that the clock style options are now properly populated in the new version of the app, as shown below.
