Do you want to create a stackable widget on your Samsung Galaxy phones? Luckily, with Samsung One UI 5.0 based on Android 13, you can now easily use stacked widgets. In this guide, you’ll learn how to create and use stack widget on Samsung Galaxy phones like S22, S21, and others on One UI 5.0 based on Android 13.
Smartphones include little programs called widgets that provide users immediate access to particular functionality of other apps on their home screen for convenience. Samsung implemented a function called Smart Widgets to One UI 4.1 to let you use several widgets without taking up space on the home screen.
Meanwhile, Samsung launched the final version of One UI 5.0 for Samsung Galaxy S22, S21 series, and others. There are many new features like lock screen customization, revamped color palette, per-app language controls, optional RAM Plus, maintenance mode, and some other minor changes.
However, One of the main One UI 5.0 features is Stack Widget. Samsung’s Smart Widgets are nothing new; before to the release of One UI 5, you could stack widgets of similar sizes to conserve space. However, One UI 5 makes a wise adjustment. You can now drag and drop widgets from your home screen onto one another to build widget stacks. It used to be a trickier procedure that required messing around with menus. It’s simple to resize individual widgets before making a stack, but you can only stack widgets that are the same size.

Here’s how to create a stacked or stackable widget on a Galaxy phone:
1. Tap and hold on to the home screen and select Widgets.

3. Now, tap and hold on to the widget and select Create stack.

4. Choose your second desired widget and add it.
Choose the second Widget
5. Now, swipe left or right to navigate between the widgets.
You can easily drag and drop a widget atop another widget to create a stacked widget rather than using the Widget menu to add a smart widget. This implies that there is no set size for your widgets.
Along with this, the Samsung One UI 5.0 upgrade makes it simple to alter this stack by holding down the mouse button for a long time. To add or delete widgets, choose the Edit Stack option. Additionally, by selecting the Remove all option, you may eliminate the whole stack. If the app widget is also customizable, you may hit Settings to make more changes to the backdrop, theme, etc.
How to Edit Stack Widget
- Press and hold on to the newly created stack widget and select Edit stack.
Edit stack
- Tap the – icon to remove any widget.

- Swipe right and tap the + icon to add a new widget.
