How do rich widget previews work in Android 15?

Question

Explain rich widget previews which are part of Android 15 and how do they enhance user interaction?

Answer 1

Tablet and smartphone owners will benefit greatly from the rich widget previews found in Android 15. Such a tool will enable users to view what information will appear on a certain widget before placing it on the home screen. Currently, only a limited number of Google services, including clocks and other widgets, offer this feature, but it is expected that more Google and third-party services will be supported in the future. This improves the overall user experience as they do not have to look at dummy content in such previews.

I've seen the easter egg a few months ago. It's a space exploration game and you can find planets. I think that's what it means by "bodies."
