Bible verse widget setup by device
iPhone lock screen
- Install Baeble, open it, and choose the available widget settings in the app.
- Touch and hold the lock screen, choose Customize, and select the lock screen layout.
- Tap Add Widgets, find Baeble, and choose a widget that fits the available space.
- Save the layout. If the widget area is full, remove an existing widget first.
Lock screen widgets require a supported iPhone and iOS version. See Apple's widget instructions for your current software.
iPhone home screen
Touch and hold an empty area of the home screen. Choose Edit, then Add Widget; find Baeble, select a size, add it, and save. Home screen and lock screen widgets use different galleries, so choose the gallery for the screen you want.
Android home screen
Touch and hold an empty home screen area, open Widgets, find Baeble, and drag an available widget onto the screen. Leave enough space for its size. Lock screen support varies by device and software; these steps describe the home screen.
See Google's Android widget guide for adding and resizing widgets.
If Baeble is missing or a verse has not refreshed
Open the app after installing or updating it, then check the widget gallery again. Confirm the widget is available for your device and plan. If a verse looks stale, open Baeble, check your connection, and remove and re-add the widget. The operating system schedules widget refreshes, so an update may not appear at an exact minute.
Choosing a translation
Pick the translation you actually read — KJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, or Gen Z mode (a paraphrase, not a translation). The widget shows the version you configure in Baeble.
Is the widget free?
No. Baeble is free to download with core Bible reading, but home screen and lock screen widgets are included with Baeble Pro, which starts with a free trial. Check the current in-app offer before subscribing.
