If you do not see this option

• Glyph Timer widget? The Glyph Timer page has Always open Glyph Timer pop-up: with it on, the widget and Quick Settings tile always open the pop-up. See Glyph Timer.

  

• Widget settings for the clock? On ours, Widget settings reopened Select A Clock Face with Bold and Scale.

  

• More Nothing widgets? Scroll down the Nothing widget list: further down, ours had Compass, Countdown, Date, Essential News, Essential Space and Media Player. A hint says swipe left to browse other widgets.

  

If this does not work

• Widget won't fit? Move icons or use a smaller size. Source: Add apps, shortcuts and widgets to your Home screens
• Widget keeps moving or vanishing? Nothing suggests turning on Freeze home screen layout in Home settings to lock icons and widgets in place. Source: An app icon has disappeared from the home screen. What can I do?
