Pixel phones may soon show your finance updates on lock screen

Google is working on a new feature for Pixel phones that could show your financial activity right on the lock screen. It’s part of the “At a Glance” widget, which already displays useful info like weather and calendar events. Now, Google seems to be adding a “Finance Recap” section that keeps you updated on your spending and account activity.

A recent APK teardown of the Google app (version 15.18) revealed this upcoming feature. It’s expected to use Gmail data, just like how Google pulls travel or delivery updates, to show summaries of things like recent transactions, account balances, and payment reminders.

The code also suggests that this financial info will appear under “Finance Recap” in the At a Glance settings. There may also be warnings if something unusual happens in your account. Of course, this will likely be opt-in, so users can choose whether to allow access to their email data for this feature.

This update hasn’t been officially rolled out yet, so we don’t know exactly when it’ll go live. But if it launches, it could make keeping track of your money much easier, right from your home or lock screen.

As always with APK teardowns, these features might change or never launch. But this move hints that Google wants Pixel phones to help users manage more of their daily tasks at a glance.
