iOS Widget
Latch has three different iOS widgets available: the Lock Screen, Concierge, and Access widget. Each widget is designed to allow users to utilize their preferred Latch services and experiences with ease. For information on how to set up widgets, please see this article from Apple.
Access Widget
The Access widget comes in three different sizes (small, medium and large) and allows you to place a widget on your home screen with your preferred doors. Once the Access Widget is set up, selecting a door will open the Latch App and initiate an unlock. With the Home Screen Access Widget, you are able to unlock your doors more quickly and set up pathways of your preferred doors that you utilize on a regular basis. The small widget allows you to have one door selected, the medium widget allows you to have up to three doors, and the large widget allows you to have up to ten doors at hand. You can configure which doors are shown in the widget by navigating to your Latch App, selecting the menu on the top left-hand side, and selecting 'widget'.
Lock Screen Widget
The Lock Screen widget allows iOS users to place a widget on their customized lock screen. For information on how to add a Lock Screen widget please see this article from Apple.
The Lock Screen widget allows you to press the widget and open the Latch App directly from your lock screen. You will need to ensure your phone is unlocked with FaceID or your personal PIN in order to navigate. While an unlock does not initiate immediately upon the app opening, you can proceed to use Hold Near to Unlock to immediately start unlocking your doors.
Concierge Widget
The Concierge Widget puts additional Latch services directly on your Home Screen. This widget smartly updates to put the best Latch services that are available to you on your screen. Services that are available are in some cases decided by the building you live in, and your eligibility for specific pilots. By pressing on any of these services in the Concierge widget, it will bring you to that service directly in the Latch App (the hierarchy in which services are displayed cannot be customized at this time).
Setting up the Widget
1. Open your Latch App and click on navigate to the Main Menu (sandwich bars on the top left of your screen).
2. Select 'Widget' from the list and fill out the blank spaces for the Small, Medium, and Large widgets with the doors you want displayed as shortcuts. Save the changes.
