Google simplifies "At a Glance" settings for Pixel users
Google's Pixel phones are renowned for their unique features that elevate the user experience and offer valuable information at a glance. In particular, the "At a Glance" widget, which conveniently displays important information like weather updates, calendar events, reminders, and more right on your home screen, lock screen, or Always-On Display (AOD).
Until recently, it was not very intuitive to customize At a Glance, as the settings were scattered across different menus in the Android System Intelligence and the Google app. Because of this, users faced challenges in locating and customizing their desired options.
Fortunately, as reported by Android Police (via 9to5Google), Google has taken steps to resolve this problem by bringing together all the At a Glance settings into a single location. Users of Pixel devices can now easily access the unified settings page through a simple long-press on the At a Glance widget and selecting Customize. Alternatively, they can navigate to the Assistant settings section within the Google app.

Users now have the option to effortlessly enable or disable the At a Glance feature, as well as customize which elements they prefer to have displayed on their screens. Users also have the ability to customize their preferences for how At a Glance utilizes their Google account data, integrates with other services, and displays location-based content.
