Jupiter Widgets for IOS and Android

[Kaushal_Sai]

With the upcoming release of ios 16 there are ton of new features being added to the software.

But my eyes caught the widgets in particular, as a super fan of the jupiter card here is my suggestion/idea:

A simple widget/s for Android as well as IOS where the users can just access a feature easily without opening the jupiter app.

It can be either card setting, UPI , bank transfer etc.

I have read a thread about Nfc payment using phone without the use of card. This option can also be available on the widget!

Hey!

Widgets are really cool tbh
Some quick options to consider:

1. Money in & out
2. Scan and pay
3. Recent transactions (Recent 5 or recent 3) - Depending on widget size.
4. Balance check/networth - should never be a widget imo. Since anyone can look at it.

I’ve seen widgets in 4x1 and 5x2 dimensions. They take like half the screen sometimes
Here’s some of our rough concepts - Scan & Pay qr widget for iOS - #4 by Shawnpinto

Thoughts?

3rd one could be responsive like google calender widget… Resizing it should show more rows and must be scrollable…
Scan and pay widget is a really nice one
Sizes shown on demo is good for me…

Radius in the edges of widgets, is it launcher specific on android or can the app decide… Make edges more iphoneish😂

[Shawnpinto]

You’re right! There are some resizable ones too.
Have you seen PayTm widgets? Something like that perhaps?

resizable widget

I am getting just 3 widgets from paytm… I havent done much transctions… I am getting recent transactions as bubble…

See the widget of gemini in the bottom… It is correct explanation of resizable and scrollable…

Ps: dark mode in phone affects the colour of widgets too

My phone’s battery optimisation is too much that widgets on clicking dont do its necessary functions… I know it works by disabling battery optimisation. What about usual people with less hand on such things should the user have a prompt to disable battery optimisation (normally very few apps gives such prompt)

[Shawnpinto]

@Aswin_Benny This is cool. Thanks for sharing the reference!

A scrollable widget for recent transactions makes sense. But I wonder how often the widget updates the data from the app.

If it’s regular, the battery drain would be massive!
I now see why you’ve optimised your battery.

I also think, smaller the data presented in the widget, lower the drainage of power from battery.

We might need to show data on widgets seperately then. Eg: recent transactions is one widget.
Another one is money in (2x2), money out (2x2).

[Aswin_Benny (A$w!n~Benn¥)]

See that refresh button on the top part of gemini? U could do manual refreshing then.

Seperate widgets would be nice

[Kaushal_Sai]

Yeah simple widgets with minimal but important useful options would be very cool!

[Irwarrier (Indraraj)]

@Shawnpinto will we be seeing the Jupiter widget any time soon?

[Shawnpinto]

@Irwarrier Nope, it’s yet to be picked up.
Have you been using widgets for other app?

If it’s widgets for a money/payments app, can you let us know what kind of functions do those widgets do?

[Irwarrier (Indraraj)]

Just the Paytm Widget. I like the simple 2x2 minimal one for scan and pay.
Its quite fast to load

[Shawnpinto]

Hmm, if it’s just for scan and pay,

Give it a try if you have an Android device! @Irwarrier

This is Cool … Thanks

I would love to see some iOS widgets, esp for iphones. It can be a QR widget, also the spend analysis tool as a bath widget would be great.

[Jalees_Hassan]

I just love Jupiter for its interface and lightning fast transactions. One thing that I would like to suggest is that we should definitely have a Jupiter widget for Android phones atleast as it would be super easy to make daily transactions… something like scan and pay

[Shawnpinto]

@Jalees_Hassan Hi!

So there were designs shared by few members in the past.
Here’s one of them:

Pay widget for iPhone

Hi Team, I’ve recently landed on Jupiter and I must say I’m really loving it here. The only thing that would be great is if you add the iOS Widget for Scan & Pay feature, it will save us the time to open the app then click the scan button. Paytm is already doing it. I’m attaching some screen mockups for the same [Widgets] Thanks , Shrikant Rapelli

Also, if you’re an Android user, you should definitely try this.
It’s way better than a widget!

Using quick app shortcuts the real way

Friends, Did you know? You can make an app icon for app shortcuts? If you long press the Jupiter app icon on your phone, you get a few app shortcuts. [Screenshot_20230222-143402] It doesn’t end here. You can long press the options shown above to get an app icon. [Screenshot_20230222-143425] If you click on this scan and pay icon, it would open the scanner instantly (after biometrics). I’ve seen this only on Android devices. It’s quick and handy. Saves a lot of time. Has anyone used th…

[teja (Mani Teja)]

Why don’t we have iOS widget for scan & pay.
Paytm & cred has widgets which I frequently use.

This one feature is almost necessary to make Jupiter my default UPI payment app along with UPI lite. The widget is already available for android. Please provide the same for iOS as well.
