The Genshin Impact widget enables you to check your Original Resin and Daily Check-in, so here’s how you can enable this handy feature on iOS and Android. 

HoYoverse has updated the Genshin Impact Battle Chronicle in the latest 2.21 update, which has now added the mobile widget feature. This handy tool enables Travelers on iOS and Android to keep track of their Orignal Resin and quickly access Genshin Impact tools without having to log into the game

This can instantly save you a lot of hassle and keep you from launching the Genshin Impact app as often. So, if you wish to use the Genshin Impact widget to save yourself time, then our handy iOS and Android guide has you covered with all the information you need to get started.

The Genshin Impact widget enables Travelers to check their Oringal Resin – the game’s main energy resource. Original Resin is used to claim rewards from Domains, bosses, and challenges. 

As result, keeping track of Oringal Resin is incredibly important, especially if you wish to maximize your Artifact farming. Previously, the only way to check Original Resin was by launching the game, but now the Genshin Impact widget enables Travelers to check in an instant.
