Google, with the launch of its Pixel 6 series last year, announced to roll out an updated “At a Glance” widget that will display various kinds of information on the home screen. Over time, the Mountain View giant has added numerous features to the widget, such as support for bedtime reminders, Fitness activity information, Nest doorbell alerts, and more. Now, Google has added the ability to see the battery percentage of connected Bluetooth devices on the At a Glance widget. Check out the details below.
Google announced that it will roll out support for displaying the battery percentage of connected Bluetooth devices on the “At a Glance” widget with the March 2022 Feature Drop update. Although the company did not confirm any release date, recent reports suggest that it has started rolling it out to some users as part of A/B testing.
So, as we can see, the new feature for the At a Glance widget shows the name of the connected Bluetooth device(s) along with the battery percentage. Going to the settings, users will now find a new “Connected devices” toggle to turn on/off the feature. It is a welcome feature for users as they will not have to drag down the quick settings panel or go to the Bluetooth settings to check the battery percentage and the connection status of their Bluetooth devices.
