Widgets are a great way to see your habits at a glance, and resizing them helps you create the perfect home screen layout. However, the ability to resize widgets and the limitations you may encounter differ significantly between Android and iOS.
Android: Flexible Resizing Ability
Android's operating system is designed to be highly flexible, allowing users to freely resize most widgets after they have been placed.
How to Resize on Android
Place a Habitify widget on your home screen.
Long-press on the widget until resize handles (dots or lines on the edges) appear.
Drag the handles to expand or shrink the widget to your desired size.
The widget's content will automatically adjust to fit the new dimensions.
Limitation
The main limitation on Android can be your specific device's launcher. Some manufacturers may have slight variations in how resizing is handled.
iOS: Predefined Size Limitations
Unlike Android, Apple's iOS has a stricter design for its home screen. You cannot freely resize widgets by dragging their corners. Instead, your ability to "resize" is limited to choosing from the predefined, standard sizes.
Therefore, for your flexible choices, we design some kind of widget in every size available, including:
Progress Chains widget (the one shows habit list with progress of severl days)
Consistancy widget (the one shows heatmap of a habit's progress)
Today's Habits widget (the one shows current day's list)
How to Resize on iOS
If you using the kinds of widgets that are available in multiple size, you can freely switch among different sizes with these simple steps:
Long-press on the widget
If the size is available, you can choose it from the dragged context menu.
Limitation:
For other widgets which are designed in one size only, you can resize it into the app icon. However, you cannot resize it back later but re-add it again from the widget gallery.
