Steps to Remove a Widget from a Stack

1. Press and hold the widget stack on your home screen
2. Tap Edit stack when the menu appears
3. You’ll see all widgets in the stack appear in a carousel
4. To remove a widget:

• Tap the minus (-) icon in the top corner
• Confirm removal if prompted

2. Tap Edit stack
3. Swipe to the widget you want to move out
4. Press and hold the widget
5. Drag it out of the stack and onto your home screen

What Happens When You Remove a Widget

• Your other widgets in the stack stay exactly where they are
• No data is deleted from the app itself

How to Add Widgets Back to a Stack

1. Press and hold an empty space on your home screen

Helpful Widget Stack Tips

• Swipe left/right on a stack to cycle through widgets
• Stacks save space while keeping multiple widgets accessible
• Try grouping similar widgets (like all weather or calendar widgets)

If you can’t edit your widget stack:

• Make sure you’re not in “Home screen locked” mode
• Check if you’re using the default One UI launcher
• Restart your phone and try again
