Yandex widgets for Android: what they are, where to download, how to put them on your desktop

It is worth paying tribute to the Yandex company, which has created excellent widgets for everyday use on Android smartphones. In this review we will look at the most popular of them.

The creation of such graphical applications on smartphones was driven by the need to quickly obtain information from the phone screen. The widget itself is a simplified graphical interface. It copes with the task of quick information notification perfectly. It is displayed on the main screen of the smartphone, allowing the user not to enter the application itself. It constantly runs in the background and displays the necessary information from the application on the screen. All widgets discussed in this review are free.

Why do I have two lines

In addition to the Yandex application, other applications, such as Yandex.Browser or Maps, also have their own search bar. Therefore, there is a possibility of multiple search strings appearing on your device.

If necessary, you can disable the display of unnecessary search strings in the settings of the corresponding applications.

Return to list of topics

It is worth paying tribute to the Yandex company, which has created excellent widgets for everyday use on Android smartphones. In this review we will look at the most popular of them.

Yandex.Weather (Download)

Standard widget for displaying weather. This application does not contain anything special or supernatural. But it still has good functionality and capabilities. A fairly flexible interface that allows the user to place a widget of both 1x1 and 4x4 sizes (in some Androids, the entire screen). It determines the location quite accurately, and the weather forecast is reliable in 80% of cases.

How to return the Yandex search bar to the home screen

To return the search bar to your phone's home screen, do the following:

Open the menu and find the Yandex application on your device and click the settings icon.
Click on Settings in Yandex
We find the item with the Search bar setting in the notification panel and the locked display and go there.
Find the Search bar item
Activate the first item “Search bar”.
This will make it possible to display the widget on the notification panel. Activate the Search bar item
Additionally, you can display the search bar on the lock screen. To do this, activate the lower slider marked with the second arrow.

Yandex.Maps (Download)

The Yandex.Maps widget deserves special attention. The most interactive and simple app for getting around the city. Supports offline maps mode, which significantly affects its popularity. Despite the enormous popularity of Waze and Google maps, Yandex.Maps have occupied their niche, taking over a significant portion of Russian users. You can choose the dimensions of Yandex.Maps as you wish. It can take up an entire desktop, or maybe only a small cell.

Browser recovery

To restore the browser itself, we will proceed from your needs and the power of your smartphone. To download the browser, open the Play Store. And enter “Yandex” in the search bar. The search results will display several applications at once. Below we will briefly look at each of them.

Yandex with Alice is the main mobile application. Includes a voice assistant, Yandex.Zen, music, games, movies and news reports. In general, the set is maximum. You can read more about Alice here: Secrets, hidden functions and games of Yandex Alice.
Yandex.Browser with Alice is a mobile browser for viewing web pages and surfing the Internet.
Yandex. Browser lite is a lightweight version of the browser for a smartphone. If your smartphone is not very fast or has a small amount of built-in memory, we recommend downloading the lite version.

Types of Yandex applications

Users of Xiaomi devices can use the updated GetApps application to download Yandex programs; they contain the same utilities and games as in the Play Store, but are stored on Xiaomi servers.

How to set Yandex Zen as the start page in mobile browsers

Zen is built not only into the PC browser, but also into the mobile device browser, where it can also be made the start page.

Yandex browser

In this browser, a vertical feed of publications will be displayed automatically, based on the user’s activity and preferences.

Other Reviewers

You can watch Zen’s feed in other browsers by opening the Yandex.ru website. Another option is to go to Zen itself from a browser.

How to install Alice on Android home screen

By default, mobile phones with Google’s operating system have the “Ok Google” voice assistant. Yandex Assistant will not hear you if you are not logged into the proprietary browser. Therefore, the only way to get around this limitation is to change the standard launcher. Download Yandex.Launcher and install it through the standard Google application store.

Go to the application settings using this button.

Find the “Others” section, select options for activating the voice assistant.

Enable voice activation from the Home screen.

The first time you use voice activation, you'll need to give the app permission to use your microphone.

Now all you have to do is unlock your phone and say “Hello, Alice.” All assistant capabilities begin to work. For example, you can open an application.

To build a route, you need to say “Let's go...” and then the address in understandable human form or the name of the shopping center. Alice will launch “Maps from Yandex”, which now includes navigation.

Promoting a channel in Yandex Zen using third-party services

The only way to attract users to your Zen channel is to constantly work on content. But it is not suitable for everyone for various reasons. Firstly, the channel owner may simply not have enough time to write materials. Secondly, it’s no secret that the best topics in Zen (and not only) are those with some “yellowness,” especially those related to scandals, the personal lives of media people, etc.

Not everyone is interested in running such channels. But it’s difficult to promote more serious topics. In this case, third-party services can help grow your audience. But, unlike other social networks, there are still few such services.

DoSMM

This is a promotion service where for little money you can get additional reads, likes and subscribers. Readings vary in duration; the more seconds, the more expensive the service.

Cheating on DoSMM is a great way to get the missing minutes of complete reading if you are already on the verge of connecting to monetization, and you are missing just a little. It should also be noted that do not delay the completion of readings until the 7th day, because... orders are launched within 24 hours and completed in about 2 days.

What else is good about the Yandex launcher?

Fresh design, not like everyone else. Customizable wallpapers, downloadable themes.
Convenient widgets with Weather support from the Russian search engine.
Zen news service on the first screen.
Experimental list of applications with selection by program icon color.

And dozens of other original solutions.
