Widgets are small apps on your home screen that can help with productivity or other things. When you're tired of all the widgets taking up your screen space, you can easily remove them by holding your finger on them and dragging them away. If you'd rather remove widgets from your device completely, you can do this in your device's settings or from the Google Play Store.
