How to Set up a Widget:
Add Widgets for Large Icons
You can use widgets on any page of your Home Screen. Some users have found creating a widget with a larger icon makes it easier to select a favorite app or access favorite tools like weather, news and notes.
- Set up: Touch and hold an empty area on the Home Screen, then tap the Add button in the upper-left corner.
- Select a widget from the list on the left or scroll down to find the Shortcut to an App you created in the previous step.
- Swipe left or right on the widget to choose a size, then tap Add Widget.
- Tap Done in the upper-right corner, or just tap your Home Screen.
TIP: By default, the shortcut widget will automatically take the last created shortcut. To choose a different shortcut for the widget, long press on the icon, and select "Edit Widget"
