Updated Android Widget!

Can you tell me where you got the widget?  I had it on my old phone, but can't find it now - and Simplisafe customer service has been useless.

Assuming that you have the main SimpliSafe app installed on your device, the widget would automatically be added to your phone as well. Just head over to your phone's Widget Section (on some Android devices, you can reach that just by long-pressing an empty space on your lock screen).

A bit of clarification: Android and you must manually add the widget.. or at least I had to. Johnny, did SS update the app to automatically add?

And, finally ATTN DEV and Product Mgt Goups: Another "stealth" update that provides a useful feature and capability that is again not formerly announced, no customer communication and results in confusion. This has occurred multiple times over the years and is beyond my understanding why a company that does new and customer oriented product updates doesn't communicate them?

All ears Simplisafe, if you could kindly answer that one question.
