When Google launched the Google Pixel 2, one of the first things that caught my eye was the “At a Glance” widget. As far as I was concerned it was a small but ingenious idea for Google to show your upcoming calendar events by exact time and weather. I hated that Google made this feature exclusive to the Pixel, and we even wrote an article on how to get Pixel 2 features on any Android device. But workarounds are always workarounds and it’s better to get the features officially from Google. Fortunately, now that Google has made the “At a Glance” widget available for all Android devices running Android Nougat and higher, you can get it on your device as follows:
