We’ve just launched home screen widgets for our iOS users, and now you can see your upcoming plans at a glance without opening the app.

It’s the fastest, easiest way to stay connected and make spontaneous plans.

Our users have been telling us for YEARS that they “want to see friends’ plans without having to dig through the app…” and we listened. 

So we built exactly that, a low-effort way to stay updated at a glance.

What are Howbout widgets?

Widgets let you drop a live preview of your calendar and next upcoming social plan right onto your phone's home screen. No need to open the app, your next upcoming plan is always ready when you need it.

Whether you’re looking at what's coming up, checking your availability, or just avoid double-booking, Howbout widgets make it easier to:

1. See your own plans instantly
2. Keep up with what's coming up next
3. View your next upcoming plan, all in one clean view.

How to add a Howbout widget to your phone

Adding a widget takes 30 seconds:

1. Update to the latest version of Howbout
2. Long-press your Howbout app and select the widget icon
3. Place your widget where you want
4. Done! Your social life is now always a glance away

This update is perfect for the people who want to stay synced with everything they have coming up, and anyone who wants their home screen to show what actually matters — their favorite, upcoming updates

What’s next?
