Google readying Digital Wellbeing widget to show your screen time and most used apps

Following new widgets for YouTube Music and Google Photos in December, Digital Wellbeing will soon get a screen time widget that shows how much you’ve been on your phone and the top Android apps being used.

About APK Insight: In this APK Insight post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in case they do ship. With that in mind, read on.

Version 1.0.416751293.beta of Digital Wellbeing reveals work on this new Your screen time widget. It’s not live yet following today’s update, but we’ve managed to enable the homescreen object ahead of time.

Screen time is shown first followed by the top three apps that day. Proportionally-sized circles, which nicely conform to Dynamic Color theming, also accompany that list. The widget can be quite compact at 2×2 (or even 2×1 for an app-less view) but can be greatly expanded. When the widget is larger, the most used application is noted at the bottom.

Digital Wellbeing’s Your screen time widget will presumably be available for all Android phones rather than just being exclusive to Pixel phones.
