Store Release Notes

Bitkit widgets just got a major upgrade. You can now add Bitkit widgets directly to your Android home screen and check useful Bitcoin context without opening the app. We also redesigned the widgets experience inside Bitkit, with better discovery, cleaner previews, and flexible compact or wide layouts. Bitcoin, at a glance.


ℹ️ Note: On some devices, home-screen widgets may stay stale when Power saving is on until you open Bitkit. Known limitation — tracking: #992
