With the introduction of Windows 11 earlier last year, Microsoft also introduced us to widgets that can be accessed via a dedicated widget panel. However, you only got access to just a limited set of system widgets at the time of launch. This is about to change soon as Microsoft has officially announced support for third-party widgets at its Build 2022 developer conference today. Here are the details.
It is revealed that Microsoft will open doors for third-party developers to provide widgets to users, and it will start taking shape later this year.
Talking about the current situation, Windows 11 only includes system widgets of apps such as Calendar, To-do, Outlook, Weather, Gaming, Photos, and more. But now, as we move forward, people will be able to add more apps to the widgets panel, making it actually useful.
