How To Customize Widgets – Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Learn how to customize widgets on your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Widgets are self-contained applications that reside in either your Widgets tab or on the main or extended Home screens. Unlike a shortcut, the Widget appears as an on-screen application.

Adding a Widget

• Press Home button to activate the main Home screen.
• Navigate to the desired Home Page.
• Touch and hold on an empty area of the screen.
• Tap Apps and Widgets.
• Tap the Widgets tab at the top of the screen.
• Press and hold an available Widget to position it on the current screen, then release the Widget.

Removing a Widget

• Touch and hold a Widget until you can move it around on the screen.
• Drag the Widget over the Remove icon and release it. As you place the Widget into the Trash, both items turn red.

Note: This action does not actually delete the Widget, it just removes it from the current Home screen.

Moving Icons in the Apps Menu

• Press Home button to activate the main Home screen.
• Tap Apps to display your current applications.
• Tap the Apps tab at the top of the screen if it is not already selected.
• Press and tap View type.
• Tap Customizable grid. A green circle will appear next to the option.
• Press and tap Edit.
• Scroll through the list and locate the icon you wish to move.
• Touch and drag the icon to the position that you want. To move to a different page, drag the icon to the edge of the page until the page scrolls to the desired page.
• Tap Save.
• Press Home button to return to the Home screen.
