Summary
Google said an Android 17 bug is making home screen widgets disappear on some Pixel phones, confirming reports that the issue is tied to devices with work profiles enabled.
Mishaal Rahman, a Google community manager, said on Reddit that the company is aware of the problem and plans to patch it in a software update coming “soon,” without giving a date.
Pixel users say the widgets vanish after installing Android 17 and are missing from the widget picker; removing the work profile, restarting, and re-adding widgets can restore them.
The workaround may be impractical for people who rely on their phones for work, leaving the upcoming patch as the main fix for affected users.
