What device are you using, some have the capability, some don’t. Let us know what phone model you have and I’m sure someone can find a solution.

@devkum1234 Assuming you now have the app that you were looking for in a previous question and it offers a widget, something like WeatherCan from Environment Canada for example, on my Android you just long press somewhere on the home screen and then the option to customize with widgets etc. appears.

Are you on Android 14/15? and depending on your device, you should have customizations!
Motorola has a lot of customization options, or Pixel does too

@devkum1234 FYI this will undoubtedly be moved to the “lounge” as it’s not support related or Public Mobile specific. For future reference.
