The last two major Android releases have tremendously changed the operating system, giving it a new coat of paint with tons of new internal and external features. The extensive and continuous UI changes since Android 12, the new privacy features and tons of other useful tweaks have all elevated the user experience. We're sure Android will continue this trend into 2024, so here are five features we'd like to see added to Android 15.

Android Widgets have so much potential that even Apple eventually copied them. However, Google didn't pay enough attention to improving them, and Apple ended up getting the most out of the feature. The Cupertino giant lets you create widget bars, interact with them and even add them to the lock screen.

I love Apple's implementation or even NothingOS 2.5's lock screen widgets, and it's about time Google brought lock screen widgets to Android. But how and what can Google implement from its existing or new, upcoming widgets?

For starters, since Google is so invested in the device ecosystem, Android 15 could benefit from a battery lock screen widget. If you're not aware, the battery widget shows the remaining battery percentage for all connected Google devices. A weather widget with existing aesthetics would also look pretty cool in addition to others like a new Gmail widget on iOS, Google Keep, Fitbit and more.
