    By default, Google is making all widgets available on the lockscreen “to prioritize user choice and customization,” but an opt-out API is offered to developers.

    That’s nice.

        Private information. I wrote an app that showed my bank balance in a widget. I’d rather not show that on the lock screen.

          sure, makes sense. but won’t the widgets be added by the user intentionally?
