You can add the same widget more than once
Widgets aren't limited to one instance per app -- you can add the same app's widget multiple times with different individual settings, such as two weather widgets showing two different cities, or two calendar widgets showing different calendars. That makes it possible to build a home screen that surfaces several pieces of related information side by side instead of forcing you to pick just one.
Rearranging widgets works just like moving app icons
A widget already placed on the home screen can be repositioned at any time the same way you'd move a regular app icon -- long-press it, then drag it to a new spot, even onto a different home screen page. This makes it easy to keep experimenting with layout until the most useful information ends up exactly where you naturally look first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add the same widget more than once?
Yes. You can add the same app's widget several times, each with its own separate settings, such as showing the weather for two different cities.
Can I move a widget's position later?
Yes. Long-press the widget, then drag it to wherever you want, and you can reposition it freely on the home screen at any time.
