    What is the widget in Pokémon GO? This is a small feature for your smartphone that lets you track how far you’ve got with your eggs on the home screen without having to open the game. It shows you when something has finished hatching and lets you quickly throw new eggs into the incubator.

    How to use the widget: That depends on your operating system.

  • On iOS, tap on a free area of ​​the home screen until the apps start to shake. Now tap on the “plus” in the top left, then you can add new widgets. You will also find the widget for Pokémon GO there.
  • For Android, tap on an empty area and click directly on “Widgets”. Select the widget for the eggs and place it on the home screen.
  • The first three eggs you hatch here will get the quarter hatching distance. So it’s best to make sure you use 10-kilometer eggs to save as much distance as possible and only have to walk 2.5 kilometers.
