I am unable to reproduce the widgets get added exactly where i place them. Please provide a recording of the issue and also let us know if you are using the stock launcher on your device.

Hi Daniel, Many thanks for taking a look at this. I'm on the stock launcher, nothing much custom on the phone at all. I've attached the video to the main request. Cheers

Just to add I've tried rebooting the phone, and tested other widgets are working as intended. I'll try uninstalling a re-installing the app, just in case. Will write back in a few minutes if that helped.

[dshokouhi]

ok i cannot reproduce here on any of the app widgets on my pixel 9 pro xl.

[danq8]

My phone is on the 5th November 2024 update, if that helps.

[dshokouhi]

yup same here

[danq8]

OK, I thought I'd try every app/widget on my phone... most work, but it is doing the same thing for BBC weather, CNN, google drive and a couple more mainstream apps as well.... Definitely something odd on Android 15, and if there's a google widget doing it, then guessing it's something further up the chain. I'll see if I can report it direct to Google (y)

[danq8]

OK, there's a workaround, and Google already knows about it... https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1g6bpk9/widgets_broken_after_android_15_update/ The "Plus" button was a little hard to find, basically have the app icon on your screen, long press the icon, choose widgets, single tap on the widget you want, and the plus button appears below it. click that and the widget will go to the earliest space it has and place it there.
