Adding and Removing Widgets Widgets are self-contained applications that reside either in your Widgets tab or on the main or
extended Home screens. Unlike a shortcut, the Widget appears as an onscreen application.
Widgets can include Contacts shortcuts, bookmarks, Facebook status windows, Gmail and
email accounts, and many other types of apps.
Adding a Widget
1. Press to display the main Home screen.
2. Navigate to the desired Home screen.
3. Touch and hold an empty area of the Home screen.
4. Tap Apps and widgets > Widgets tab.
5. Touch and hold an available Widget to position it on the current screen.
Removing a Widget
1. Press to display the main Home screen.
2. Touch and hold the desired widget. This unlocks it from its location on the current
screen.
3. Drag the widget up to the Remove icon and release it. As you place the widget into the
Trash, the area highlights in red.
Note: This action does not delete the widget, it simply removes it from the current screen.
