Android used to let you place widgets on the lock screen, but this feature was killed off in Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Code within the latest Android 14 QPR2 beta suggests that this feature might return in some form.
We don’t have the full details on what lock screen widget support might look like in Android 15, nor whether third-party widgets may be supported.

Damn, I absolutely loved that feature. Notifications on lock screen are just not the same
