When life gets busy, healthy habits sometimes get put on the back burner, making it a challenge to stay on track. But the new WeightWatchers® mobile widget helps you stick to your goals—wherever life takes you.
What’s a widget?
Widgets let you view important app information at a glance—the weather, your battery levels, reminders, and more. You can add them to your phone's home or lock screen to quickly access key details from your apps without opening the apps themselves.
How does the WeightWatchers widget work?
With our widget, you can track meals and view your Points Budget right from your lock or home screen on your iOS or Android device. It only takes a few seconds to install and update.
