How to Use Android Widget and Lock Screen Control

While playing music from the WiiM Home app, you can control playback directly from the lock screen and notification panel.

If your Android device is locked, simply tap the screen to view music information, control playback (e.g., Play/Pause, Next, Previous) and adjust volumes. You can also tap the widget to quickly open the WiiM Home app for more controls.

Scenario 2: From the Notification Panel

If your Android device is unlocked, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel. From there, you can view music information, control playback (e.g., Play/Pause, Next, Previous), and adjust volumes. You can also tap the widget to quickly open the WiiM Home app for more controls.
