How to use the iOS widget

If you'd like to have a quick way to start an Opal Session, you're in luck. Opal has a iOS Home Screen and Lock Screen widget! Adding our widgets is simple. To add a Home Screen widget, just follow these steps:

  • Long press on your iPhone's home screen
  • Tap the “Edit” button in top left corner
  • Tap "Add Widget"
  • Input "Opal" in the "Search Widgets" bar
  • Select your widget type by swiping right
  • Tap "+ Add Widget" button to place Opal on your Home Screen

Opal also supports Lock Screen widgets. Here's how to add one to your device:

  • Long press on your iPhone's Lock Screen
  • Unlock to Edit
  • Tap "Customise"
  • Select "Lock Screen"
  • Tap "+ Add Widgets" or tap and hold on existing widgets
  • Scroll down and select "Opal"
  • Drag and drop the widget size you prefer on your Lock Screen
  • Tap on "x"
  • Tap on "x" from the "Add Widgets" screen
  • Tap "Done"

When that is complete, if you tap on the Opal widget from your Lock Screen, it will automatically open Opal.
