When iPhone 12 was released a few weeks ago, we launched helpful widgets for your favorite Google apps on iOS. Over the next few days, we’re adding more for Gmail, Drive and Fit—and Calendar and Chrome widgets are on their way too.
To install any Google widget on iOS, first make sure you have the latest corresponding app downloaded from the App Store. Then follow these steps:
Press and hold on the home screen of your iPhone or iPad
Tap the plus icon on the upper left corner to open the widget gallery
Search for & tap the widget you’d like to install
Swipe right/left to select the widget size
Tap “Add Widget”
Place the widget and tap “Done” at the upper right corner
When a user taps on any article on the Discover feed or the search results on the Google App, it will open the website in a sheet. However, some websites automatically open in fullscreen for better viewing.
