Android 12 brought widgets back into fashion on Android, and Google has been busy leading the way. Many of its apps have added or revamped their widgets, and the one that’s about to join the party is the Google Digital Wellbeing.
Google Digital Wellbeing is an Android function that integrates different techniques so that you can control -if you wish- how much you use your mobile. Your next widget this will tell you how long you have been using the mobile that day and with which applications.
The first Digital Wellbeing widget
Digital wellbeing has been with us for a few years now. It is a series of functions and configurations integrated into the system (also in the form of an application) whose purpose is to give you tools so that you can control your mobile usage.
Part of this self-control is the recording of app usage time and mobiles in general. This can be seen in System Settings > Digital wellbeing and parental controls, although soon you will also be able to see it through its own widget. It will be the first Digital Wellbeing widget, and with a Material You design, of course.
The 1.0.416751293 beta version of the Digital Wellbeing app already includes this widget, although not yet active for users. It’s a single widget called screen time (use time), although it can be adapted to different sizes with different designs. Of course, adopt system colors if you’re using it on Android 12 in a layer that supports Material You coloring.
Depending on the size of the widget, you can use it to display the mobile usage time and the main applications you used during the day. Either by means of a square or in a list with bubbles for each application, if the size allows it. The widget is available in light and dark themes.
now only missing que active widget el widget For users. We don’t know when this will happen or if it will be an exclusive widget for Android 12. Normally it wouldn’t be, since Digital Welfare released with Android 9 Pie, in 2019.
