➤ WhatsApp widget, how to use it 🎮

So you want to use the WhatsApp widget on your Android phone? Let's see how it's done. If you want to be able to read the messages sent to you on WhatsApp without opening the app and without the other person knowing, the Whatsapp widget is a good option.

WhatsApp is the most used messaging app on Android in Spain. In addition, it is an application that is updated frequently, such as the recent introduction of QR codes. When they send us a message in the app, we can see that message from or by entering the notification panel of the phone.

To get a Whatsapp preview, the Android notification panel is very useful, although it has some drawbacks. Because if the message they sent us is a bit long, we won't be able to read it in full. One way to be able to read these messages without entering the app is to use the WhatsApp widget on your Android phone.

The Whatsapp widget on Android is very useful, even if we don't always use it, we can put them on the phone lock screen. Like other applications on your phone, WhatsApp has its own widget, which you can place on your phone's home screen, so you can read those messages they send to us without opening the application. A very useful option for long messages and having Whatsapp preview messages.

This widget will show those messages you have waiting to read in the application, allowing you to read them in full, without having to enter the app and without the other person knowing that you are reading them. In order to activate this widget on your Android phone, you need to follow these steps:

Go to the home screen of the phone.
Go to an empty place.
Press and hold on the screen.
Select the Widget option from the bottom menu.
Find the WhatsApp 4 × 2 widget.
