Android 15 adds support for lock screen widgets, but only on tablets. Here's what it'd look like if phones supported this feature.

Really don't give a shit. I've lived without lockscreen widgets for so long I would never use them at this point.

To those that want them: This is unfortunate.

Eh, no matter the phone I have had or the version of Android it has, it has more or less looked the same for years since I just install Nova and import the backup. Same thing for my lock screen. I will probably continue to use it the same way I have for years no matter what it technically supports.

id assume they'll still work on samsung phones though right?

Yes, the next version of OneUI should still support lockscreen widgets. This should only affect the stock builds of Android.
