The platform will play off user "patterns" to do the work.
  • Reports suggest Glance is preparing to debut in the U.S. “later this year” following its pilot program with Motorola and Verizon.
  • Sources state Glance will not capture data, but will instead leverage a user’s “patterns” to offer recommendations.
  • Glance states it will not show ads in the U.S., opting for news stories, and it will look to offer a subscription service for "premium news

    Glance works to deliver recommendations to users like ads, news articles, and more on the lock screen.

    How do I block it?

    Glance will side with offering a subscription service where users can pay for “premium news” on their lock screens every month.

    Oh, so just don’t pay for it, right?

    Fortunately, you can disable Glance on the phone, but we found that the service would occasionally produce a full-screen prompt on the lock screen, encouraging you to re-enable the feature.

    Oh, so more bloat using resources even when disabled.

    Glance will seek to make a profit through the aforementioned subscription and if users interact with its “product of the day.”

    Its literally just a venture to capture and advertise on every visible space possible.

    It looks like I’ll be spending 2025 onward with Linux and a flip phone.
