TL;DR

  • Android Auto is preparing to add home screen widgets.
  • The feature is codenamed “Earth” and will allow users to add widgets from their phone apps directly to the Android Auto dashboard.
  • Some widgets already work well, like Pixel Weather and Clock’s Stopwatch, giving us a glimpse of what future Android Auto customizations could look like.

Taking cues from Android phones, Android Auto appears to be preparing to introduce home screen widgets. This new feature will let users add widgets from their mobile apps directly to their Android Auto dashboard. Codenamed “Earth,” the feature is still under development. However, despite its current limitations, we managed to get it working and can now show you how the whole process of adding widgets to your Android Auto home screen will work and what these widgets could look like when they finally arrive.
