Android 12 DP2 has a new, more compact widget picker - Android

Among the changes Google didn't mention that are nestled in Android 12 Developer Preview Two is a new widget picker for the default Pixel launcher. This new picker still organizes things on a side-scrolling per-app basis, but collapsed for easier perusal.

Previously, Google organized widgets into expanded side-scrolling categories, grouped alphabetically by app and then by widget name. In DP2, these app categories are by default collapsed, and tapping them expands the list of the app's associated widget.
