Home Screen Widget
With the twonly widget, you see fresh photos from your favorite people right on your home screen, without opening the app. When a new photo arrives, it replaces the previous one.
How it works
- The widget shows photos from a contact group you choose.
- All members of that contact group can then send photos to your widget. To do this, they choose Send to home-screen widget when sharing.
- If you remove the widget, they can no longer send photos to your home screen.
So first create a contact group with the people whose photos you want to see.
Add the widget
Android:
- Touch and hold an empty area on your home screen, then tap Widgets.
- Find twonly, then drag its widget onto your home screen.
- Select the contact group in the setup screen, then tap Save.
iPhone:
- Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen, then tap Edit and Add Widget.
- Find twonly, choose a size, then tap Add Widget.
- Touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget, then select the contact group.
You can also find these steps in the app: under Settings > Chats & camera > Contact Groups, open a group and tap Home screen widget.
Send a photo to a friend’s widget
When you share a photo, choose Send to home-screen widget. The photo then appears right on your friends’ home screens. You can only select friends who allow this, meaning they have you in a contact group on their widget.
Remove the widget
Touch and hold the widget on your home screen and remove it. As long as a widget uses a contact group, you can’t delete that group.
