TL;DR Google appears to be working on a new option that would let Pixel users remove the At a Glance widget from their home screen.
We discovered the option in the latest Android Canary build.
The option completely hides the widget from the home screen while keeping it visible on the lock screen and Always-on Display.
Updated: November 12, 2025 (11 PM ET): After the release of the November Android Canary build, we can now confirm that toggling off the new “Show on home screen” option in Pixel’s At a Glance settings indeed hides the widget completely from the home screen while keeping it visible on the lock screen and Always-on Display. The screen recording above demonstrates how the feature would work, should it eventually be released in a stable build.

In the latest Android Canary build with Android System Intelligence version B.17.playstore.pixel10.825046611, we spotted a new “Show on home screen” toggle in the At a Glance settings, suggesting that you might soon be able to turn off the widget on your home screen while keeping it active on the lock screen.
The option doesn’t seem to do anything just yet, but it’s a strong indicator that Google is working toward giving users more flexibility with At a Glance placement. Currently, disabling At a Glance doesn’t completely remove it from the home screen. The date and day still show up even after you toggle the feature off, and this is something many Pixel users have expressed frustration about before.
