Key announcements include: mobile widgets coming to Android Auto (250M+ compatible cars), Wear OS tiles being renamed to Wear Widgets with a new alpha API in Jetpack Glance, and a new Remote Compose framework replacing ProtoLayout as the UI engine for widgets. Remote Compose enables richer animations, shape morphing, particle effects, and snap scroll without app wake-ups. New canonical layouts (single entity, streak) and snap scroll are introduced for phones and cars. Code demos show how to add snap scrolling to a Glance widget and port a Wear OS tile to the new card-layout widget format. Future plans include widgets for XR, AI glasses, and desktop by 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
