Our widgets

A widget is a shortcut displayed on the sceen of your phone or tablet when it's locked. The widgets are shown with an icon that you press to go to the widget's target location. The BankID app currently has two widgets:

• One to scan a QR code. Shown as the BankID logotype.

• One to show digital ID card. Shown as an ID card icon.

Previously, the ID card widget used the icon with the BankID logotype, but this is now replaced by the ID card icon.
