On the home screen of my phone (Moto G running Android 5.1) I have, or rather had, an email widget, which showed me the topic lines of the most recent few e-mails, so I could tell at a glance if there was anything new. Earlier today, though, it stopped working: It just said “Loading”, and kept on saying that no matter how long I waited (though I could still open up the app and read mail through it just fine).
OK, I decided, I’ll just remove that widget and put it back in, and see if that helps. And that’s where it went from bad to worse: I was able to remove the widget, but I can’t remember how I put it on in the first place. And when I Google for how to do it, it says to just press and hold in any empty spot, and a window will come up with the option to put in a widget. But when I do that, all that I get are wallpaper options, no widgets.
How do I get this widget back and working?
