As a Pokémon GO player, you may already be familiar with the Buddy and Egg widgets that allow you to keep track of your progress in the game. But did you know that Niantic has recently introduced a new Activity Summary Widget that provides even more information at a glance? In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding these widgets to your phone, whether you're using an iPhone or an Android device.

Firstly, let's clarify what a widget is. A widget is a quick way to access specific information from an app without having to open the app itself. In the case of Pokémon GO, widgets allow you to see your Buddy Pokémon status, Buddy Candy distance gauge, egg hatching progress, and weekly walking summary right from your home screen.

If you're an iPhone user, adding these widgets is simple. From your Home Screen, tap and hold a widget or an empty area until the apps jiggle. Then, tap the Add button in the upper-left corner, select the Pokémon GO widget, and tap Add Widget. Finally, tap Done to save your changes. You can also add Pokémon GO widgets to your Today View by swiping left from your home screen and following the same steps.

For Android users, the process is slightly different. To add a widget, touch and hold an empty space on your Home screen, tap the Widgets icon, and then tap and hold the Pokémon GO widget. You can then slide the widget to where you want it on your screen and lift your finger to place it. If you want to resize the widget, touch and hold it on your home screen until an outline with dots appears on the sides. You can then drag the dots to resize the widget to your liking.

With these widgets added to your phone, you can easily keep track of your Pokémon GO progress without having to open the app every time. Whether you're aiming to hatch eggs, earn Buddy Candy, or reach your weekly walking goals, these widgets provide a convenient way to stay up to date with your in-game activities.

So why wait? Add the Pokémon GO Egg, Buddy, and Activity Summary Widgets to your phone today and take your Pokémon training to the next level!
