With the release of Android 10, we can see a lot of changes in the Android ecosystem. Starting from Android 10, Google has ended the tradition of dessert names and went with full-on gesture controls. But Android still remains as the OS we know and love. Google has added additional security and enhanced existing features. As a whole, the new addition to the Android family may feel like a continuation of its predecessor, but there still are distinctive differences between Android 10 and Android Pie. Some noticeable features are the addition of dark themes, the notifications are easier to manage and privacy permissions are warier to manage. Another nifty feature is “At a glance” widget. This Pixel exclusive widget, when placed on the home screen would provide you with info such as date, current weather, along with calendar events. Fortunately, there is an app on the Google Play Store that can make this widget available on any Android. Here’s how to get Google calendar events on Android home screen.
