Add a music24 widget to your Android phone
Put your streams, your next release and your posts on the Home screen, and open New post or Studio from a shortcut, a tile or your voice.
music24 widgets show your numbers on the Home screen: your streams, the days to your next release, the posts that need you and your fans. A tap on a widget opens the right screen of the app. Widgets are on every plan, Free included.
Add a widget
- Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home screen, then tap Widgets.
- Find music24 and open it.

- Pick the artist of the widget, then tap Add widget.
Add a widget from the app
- In music24, open Settings → Widgets and shortcuts.
- Tap Add next to the widget you want.
- Your phone asks to add it to the Home screen. Confirm.
Some launchers cannot add a widget for an app. Then music24 tells you to touch and hold the Home screen and tap Widgets.
Pick or change the artist
- Active artist is the first choice. It follows the artist you pick in the app, so the widget changes when you switch artists.

- To change the artist later, touch and hold the widget and tap the edit button of your launcher. Quick actions has no artist.
The widgets and their sizes
Touch and hold a widget and drag its edges to resize it. The widget picks the layout that fits: small (2 × 2), wide (4 × 2) or large (4 × 4).
- Streams: your streams, the change and a small chart. Wider and larger widgets add listeners, followers and your top 3 songs.
- Next release: a countdown to your next release day and your pre-save fans. After the release day, your SmartLink clicks.
- Up next: your next scheduled posts and the posts that need you. The large widget scrolls through the next 7 days.
- Social: your followers on every channel, the change and your best post.
- SmartLinks and fans: your SmartLink clicks, your top link and your fans.
- Top countries: the 3 countries where your fans stream most. Countries are on the paid plans.
