Apple’s iOS 16 update brought with it support for Lock screen widgets and now Google has finished updating its apps to take advantage of that feature.
Google first announced that it was going to add Lock screen widgets to its apps last month and it’s been doing so ever since.
Now, it’s released updates to search and Maps, completing that rollout.
The Google search app allows people o rapidly search the web from their Lock Screen, including using voice and their iPhone’s camera. There is also the option to rapidly convert text to other languages, too.
Over in the Google Maps app, users can see live arrival times for destinations as well as find restaurants, fuel stations, and much more all from their Lock Screen.
Google has already updated other apps including Google News, Gmail, Chrome, and Drive which implies that there is no shortage of options for adding Lock screen widgets, even if you only have a few of those installed.
If you’re using Apple’s newest iphone 14 pro or iphone 14 pro Max, you can of course also use these widgets when your iphone is turned off.
Those devices feature always-on displays, implying notifications and widgets are always available even when the screen is turned off.
