Egg Hatching widget in Pokemon Go explained

The Egg Hatching widget in Pokemon Go is a tool that players can add to their phone home screens to keep track of activities in the game, such as Egg status. You will be able to check your active Incubators and how far you need to walk for them to hatch.

You can also use another widget to keep track of your Buddy Pokemon walking status, amount of Buddy Hearts, and more. These widgets help players check on some of the passive features of the game without having to open up the app.
