Is there something i should do to activate it other than open the My Verizon app?

To get the widget, you need to long press the homescreen, tap widgets, and scroll down to MyVerizon; there are two Data widgets, light and dark. For some reason it takes up 2x1 space, rather than just a 1x1 square, but it's there.

The Widgets can't be used until the app is activated and account verified (or whatever, it's not like I paid close attention). OK--AT&T has a better widget selection - I'll give you that! Still, the data widget from MyVerizon is adequate for me, and a quick tap gives me all the info I need. I can live with that.

I can get all that too, via the app. The widget is a quick glance, and I know when my bill cycle is and where I am at in it. Plus, I can see if the percentage takes a sudden drop and I need to check who or what is using the data.

Hmmmm. So much for Verizon having the best App. Seems like mine kicks it!

I use it on my tablet, not on the phone tho. It doesn't give you data usage, but does give battery, storage, and other info.

The data widget is good for me to see where I am at on data at a glance. It doesn't tell me where I am in the billing cycle - I guess they figure you should know that? Anyway, if I need more detail I just tap the icon to open MyVerizon. Notice the icon has lots of space on either side - it's centered in a 2x1 icon space but is only 1 square wide ...

Do you activate the app first? Signed in and all?

The my verizon widget won't activate on Pixel
