Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityTL;DR Android will soon let you resize the widgets you’ve added to the lock screen. When Google introduced lock screen widgets support in Android 15 QPR1, the company didn’t allow you to resize widgets, only add, move, or delete them.

As a Pixel user, this is the feature I want to see on upcoming Google phones, but…

With each new iOS 18.x update, more mobile network operators around the world have been implementing RCS support. The latest iOS 18.2 version activates RCS for iPhone users subscribed to Boost Mobile in the US. While numerous feature-rich, cross-platform messaging apps are available, many US-based users prefer the built-in Messages app. With iOS 18, Apple bridged the communication gap between iPhone and Android phone users by introducing RCS as an alternative to SMS and MMS.
