If you have an Android phone and want to try out the Android 12 widget, you can follow this guide. Yes, you can get Android 12 widgets regardless of the Android version of your device. Since Android 12 has been available for some time considering beta releases, developers have come up with a number of apps that feature new widgets. We are going to use third party apps to get Android 12 widgets on other Android phones. In this guide, we will be sharing methods that require only free widgets. But in case if you have a budget, you can review paid widgets available on Play Store before purchasing. Now let’s continue with methods.
Method 1: Android 12 Widgets (Twelve)
This new widget lets users easily set Android 12 widgets on the homescreen without using any custom widget pickers. Yes, this is a free Android 12 widget application.

For some widgets like WiFi, Notifications, Music, you need to grant permission to the widget application. Also, you will need to set a particular app for Music and Notification widgets. Some of the widgets support click action directly from the homescreen. You can jump to battery settings, turn on/off Bluetooth and WiFi.

First, we are going to use the Material Komponents app which is free and available in the Play Store. It does not have many widgets, but the one that is available looks good and easy to apply. Also since it is a KWGT based widget, you can manually create widgets using available widgets packs.
