It\u2019s seemed like the issue was only cropping up on phones with work profiles set up \u2014 and now, Google\u2019s confirmed that that\u2019s the case, and that a fix is in the works.<\/p>\n<p>Google community engagement manager and\u00a0Android Authority alum Mishaal Rahman replied to a comment about the problem on Reddit, acknowledging that Google is aware of the bug and that it will be patched in a future software update.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, a Google spokesperson reached out to Android Authority to confirm the news:<\/p>\n<p>We are aware of this bug affecting Work Profile users, and a fix will be rolled out in a software update soon<\/p>\n<p>Pixel users with work profiles set up have been reporting that since installing Android 17, they\u2019ve lost access to their home screen widgets. If you\u2019re affected by this bug, it seems like you can fix it by removing the work profile from your device, restarting, and manually adding your widgets back. If you actually use your phone for work, though, that might not be an option for you.<\/p>\n<p>Other than \u201csoon,\u201d Google hasn\u2019t specified exactly when we should expect the patch to land. We\u2019ll be watching for it to roll out.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
