OnePlus How to Organize Widgets on Home Screen
OnePlus 412Table of contents
Add widget
Widgets are useful programs or services that can be freely positioned on the OnePlus smartphone's start screen, provided there is enough free space.
The widgets differ in form and function, as there are widgets for various apps and topics, such as weather, stocks or messengers.
If we install apps, such as Netflix or WhatsApp, a corresponding widget is automatically installed, which can also be added afterwards to provide us with the most important information.




- Tap and hold a free area on home screen
- Tap on Widgets
- Tap and hold the desired widget
- Place the widget at the desired position and release it
Resize a widget
A widget requires sufficient space on the home screen of the OnePlus smartphone and, if supported, can be resized at any time.
It should be noted that not all widgets are freely configurable and require a certain minimum amount of space.



- Tap and hold the widget
- Drag the border frame to enlarge or reduze the widget size
- Tap on a free area on home screen
Move widget
Once a widget has been positioned on the OnePlus smartphone's home screen, it can be moved at any time if there is not enough space or if the further arrangement of apps and folders does not suit our needs.
To do this, we tap and hold the widget and drag it to the desired position.
Note: If there are apps in the way when the widget is rearranged, they will be moved automatically.


- Tap and hold the widget
- Move the widget to the desired position and release it
Remove Google search bar
When we start and configure the OnePlus smartphone for the first time, we are immediately greeted by the Google search bar on the home screen.
Google search can be removed like a normal widget by tapping and holding to adjust the home screen to your own wishes and usage needs.
Note: The Google search bar can be added back at any time through the widget settings.


- Tap and hold the Google search bar
- Tap on Remove
Remove Widget
If a widget does not meet our expectations, for example because it is less functional or larger than we originally thought, it can be removed at any time.
To do this, we tap and hold the widget to highlight it and then tap the remove button.

- Tap on Remove
