Adding the home screen widget — see points and deadlines without opening the app

What the home screen widget is

The home screen widget is a small panel you place on your phone's home screen. It shows your points balance and upcoming deadlines without opening the app.

• For now it works in the inlink app for iPhone. Your iPhone needs iOS 17 or later.
• You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About under "iOS Version". If it is older than iOS 17, update it first in Settings > General > Software Update.
• If the inlink widget does not appear in the list, update the inlink app to the latest version in the App Store.
• The widget shows the numbers for the account you are signed in to in the app. Please sign in to the app first.

How to add it on iPhone

1. Touch and hold an empty spot on the home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
2. Tap Edit in the top-left corner and choose Add Widget. On iOS 17, tap ＋ in the top-left corner instead.
3. Type inlink in the search field. The widget list shows the app name in English, "inlink".
4. Pick inlink 요약 (the inlink summary widget) and choose the medium size (the wide one).
5. Tap Add Widget, place it where you like, then tap Done.

Give it a moment after adding it and the numbers will fill in.

What the widget shows

• Points balance: the points you have now. It is the same number as the points balance in the app.
• Nearest submission deadline: the top-right corner shows the days left, such as "마감 D-2" (2 days to the deadline). On the day itself it changes to "마감 오늘" (due today).
• Upcoming schedule: up to three lines of your ongoing campaign dates, nearest first. If there is nothing coming up, it says "다가오는 일정이 없어요." (nothing coming up).
• Tapping the widget opens the inlink app.

If the app is signed in to a business account, the widget shows new applicants and campaign dates instead.

When the numbers refresh

• The widget usually loads new numbers about every 30 minutes. Your iPhone may delay this a little depending on battery conditions.
• Opening the inlink app also refreshes the widget. If you want the latest numbers right away, open the app once and close it.
• The small text at the bottom shows when the numbers were last loaded.

What happens when you sign out

When you sign out of the app, the numbers on the widget are cleared and it shows "앱에서 로그인하면 숫자가 표시돼요." (sign in to the app to see your numbers). Sign in again and the numbers come back.

When will it work on Android

On Android, the widget works starting with the new version of the inlink app that includes it. If inlink still does not appear in the widget list after you update the app to the latest version, your version cannot use it yet. In the meantime, check your points balance in "포인트 내역" (points history) and upcoming deadlines in "내 일정" (my schedule).

If something is not working

• inlink does not appear in the list: check that your iPhone is on iOS 17 or later and that the inlink app is up to date. Search for inlink in English.
• Only "앱에서 로그인하면 숫자가 표시돼요." is shown: open the inlink app and check that you are signed in. If you are, close the app once and open it again.
• The numbers differ from the app: the widget loads numbers about every 30 minutes, so there can be a short gap. Opening the app once updates the widget too.
