Like apps, widgets appear on the Home screen. Some widgets are look-only, but for most of them you tap the widget to use it. What happens next depends on the widget and what it does.

For example, the YouTube widget lets you peruse videos. The Calendar widget shows a preview of your upcoming schedule. A Twitter widget displays recent tweets. Other widgets do interesting things, display useful information, or give you access to the device’s settings or features.

New widgets are obtained from Google Play, just like apps. See Chapter 17 for information on Google Play; Chapter 21 covers working with widgets on the Home screen.
