- Select the widget’s size and add to your home screen.
- Select a board of yours or one you follow.
- The image on the widget will change on hourly or daily basis, depending on the Pinner’s preferences, with an option to add a small or large-sized widget (medium-size isn’t optimal for Pin length). Tapping the widget will direct to that Pin in the app.
- To move the widget, hold it and place it in the best spot.
