Step 2: Create a Snapchat Widget
Once you have Widgetsmith installed on your device, open the app and tap on the “Custom” option at the top of the screen. From here, you can choose the size of the widget you want to create. I recommend selecting the “Medium” or “Large” size for better visibility on your lock screen.
After selecting the size, you can customize the appearance of your Snapchat widget. You can choose from different styles, fonts, and colors to match your personal preference. I suggest using Snapchat’s iconic yellow color for an authentic look.
Now, it’s time to add the actual Snapchat widget. Tap on the “Add” button and select the “App” option. Search for Snapchat in the list of available apps and choose it. You can also choose the specific type of widget you want, such as a small icon or a large photo preview.
Once you’ve added the Snapchat widget, you can rearrange it on your lock screen by tapping and holding on the widget in the Widgetsmith app and dragging it to your desired position. You can also resize it by tapping and dragging the corners of the widget.
Step 3: Add the Widget to Your Lock Screen
Now that you’ve created your Snapchat widget, it’s time to add it to your lock screen. To do this, swipe right on your home screen to access the Today View. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on the “Edit” button. Here, you’ll see a list of available widgets.
Find the Widgetsmith widget in the list and tap on the green “+” button next to it. This will add Widgetsmith as a widget on your lock screen. You can then tap and hold on the three horizontal lines next to Widgetsmith to rearrange its position among other widgets.
Finally, exit the editing mode by swiping up or pressing the home button. Voila! Your Snapchat widget is now added to your lock screen, ready to be accessed with just a glance.
Conclusion
Adding a Snapchat widget to your lock screen is a fun and easy way to personalize your device and make it more convenient to access the app. With the help of Widgetsmith, you can create a custom Snapchat widget that suits your style and preferences. Just follow the steps outlined above, and you’ll be on your way to having a unique lock screen that showcases your love for Snapchat. Enjoy!
