Accessing At a Glance Settings
The At a Glance widget shows timely information at the top of your home screen. While you typically cannot completely remove the widget itself without using a custom launcher, you can customize which features it displays by disabling specific categories.
Here's how to manage the features within At a Glance:
- Touch and hold At a Glance: Locate the At a Glance widget at the top of your home screen and press and hold it.
- Tap Customize: From the options that appear, tap the "Customize" option, often represented by a gear icon or text.
- Navigate to Settings: This will take you to the "At a Glance Settings" page.
- Select a Category: Under the "Features" section, you will see a list of different categories or topics that At a Glance can display (e.g., Weather, Calendar events, Commute information, etc.). Tap on the category you wish to adjust.
- Toggle Feature On/Off: On the category details page, you will typically find a toggle switch. Tap this switch to turn the specific feature off.
- Explore More Features: To find additional topics or categories you can control, scroll to the bottom of the "Features" list and tap "See more features".
By following these steps, you can tailor the At a Glance widget to show only the information you want, effectively "turning off" the features you don't need.
