To remove the day and date, which is typically part of the "At a Glance" widget on your Pixel home screen, you need to adjust the settings for this feature.
Steps to Hide At a Glance:
Based on the provided reference, the process involves accessing the settings for the "At a Glance" widget and choosing to hide it from the home screen.
- Locate the "At a Glance" area on your Pixel home screen. This is usually at the top and displays information like the day, date, weather, and upcoming events.
- Access the settings for "At a Glance". (Note: The exact method to access settings can vary slightly depending on the Pixel phone model and Android version. Often, long-pressing the widget itself is the way to access its settings or customization options).
- Within the "At a Glance" settings, look for an option related to displaying or hiding the widget or specific information on the home screen.
- According to the reference, you should "select to don't show on the home screen".
- Once this option is selected, the "At a Glance" widget, including the day and date, should disappear from your home screen.

What is "At a Glance"?
"At a Glance" is a feature on Pixel phones that provides timely information directly on your home screen without needing to open an app. While it commonly shows the day and date, it can also display weather forecasts, calendar events, traffic updates, and other relevant information depending on your settings and context. Removing it means you'll lose all information shown by this specific widget, not just the date.
- Example: If "At a Glance" is showing the current temperature alongside the date, hiding it will remove both.
Removing this widget provides more space on your home screen for app icons or other widgets.
