Using the Weather widget on a Samsung Phone

Last Update date : Nov 23. 2020

No more wondering whether you should wear your rain boots or toss a pair of sunglasses in your bag. Since many of us check the weather each morning to prepare for the day ahead, it's a good idea to add a Weather widget to your phone. That way, you can check the daily forecast right from your Home screen.
