Let’s have a look… HOW TO ADD WIDGETS TO ANDROID HOME SCREEN And it’s a really slick one that’s great for every Spotify fan too. Not a great solution, I admit, but fortunately Spotify is one of the few apps that does have a widget. Instead, notifications can keep you in the loop (somewhat) and you can always just leave the app running and shown on the screen.
Unfortunately, most programs and apps on your Android device do not have associated widgets, so mostly you’re left in the dark.
Android actually introduced widgets, tiny little app windows that can be added to your Android screens, long before Apple got the inspiration to add it to the iPhone system with Apple iOS! Heck, if you think about how you can have small windows open on your computer that let you interact with multiple programs simultaneously, it’s not a big leap to offer the same functionality for smartphones and tablets too, right? Indeed, widgets are useful on phones, but it’s the bigger screens of tablets that really show off the increased usability and control of a widget-ful Android device.
