Android 9 Pie vs Android 8.0 Oreo Walkthrough: What’s New

Weather, Events & More on Lockscreen

Another small but helpful change to Android Pie is the addition of content on the lock screen. This works on the lock screen, ambient mode, and likely any phone with an always-on display. 

With Android 9, Google neatly displays the time, date, and now weather (with a nice little icon) and even upcoming reminders or events. This way you can see the weather or an event without unlocking your phone or turn on the screen. 

We can't completely customize the lock screen like the old days, but this is a nice addition people will enjoy and appreciate.
