Platform widgets in Zoho CRM iOS app
Widgets are small, interactive UI components that you can add to your home screen or lock screen. They serve as quick access points to features or information you use frequently.
For example, a weather widget is commonly used on mobile devices to display the current temperature and forecast directly on the screen, so you can check the weather without opening the app.
