Widgets

Widgets are small applications that you can use directly on your Home screen. For example, the “WALKMAN” widget allows you to start playing music directly.

Some widgets are resizable, so you can expand them to view more content or shrink them to save space on your Home screen.

2Find and tap the widget that you want to add.

To resize a widget

1Touch and hold a widget until it magnifies and the device vibrates, then release the widget. If the widget can be resized, for example, the Calendar widget, then a highlighted frame and resizing dots appear.

2Drag the dots inward or outward to shrink or expand the widget.

3To confirm the new size of the widget, tap anywhere on the Home screen.
