Is the TWINT widget also available for Android?

As Android does not permit lockscreen widgets as standard and this option is only offered by individual manufacturers of Android smartphones, the TWINT widget is not available for Android.

There are other useful tricks to help you pay quicker using TWINT on an Android device.

Tiles for paying and parking – even on the lockscreen

The procedure for adding tiles varies depending on the Android device you are using. If you decide to add a TWINT pay tile to the quick settings, you can swipe down from the top of the screen directly from the lock screen and tap the TWINT pay tile. On some Android phones, you can place tiles directly on the lock screen for even faster access to TWINT features.

You can also add a tile for parking without having to go to the meter or pay point.

Please note that this feature may not be available in all TWINT apps. If you cannot find this option in your app, please contact the customer service of your TWINT app.

Shortcuts for payments, sending money, requesting money and splitting payments

  • Look for the icon for your TWINT app on your smartphone’s home screen.
  • Tap and hold the icon for your TWINT app for a few seconds.
  • Depending on the issuer of your TWINT app, you will now see different TWINT functions.
  • Tap the function that you want to use to access it directly, for example the QR code scanner (or, depending on the app, the “Pay” option).
  • Alternatively, you can also press and hold your finger on the function and then drag it onto the home screen of your smartphone, thus creating a shortcut with its own app icon. This means that you can, for example, drag the QR code scanner directly onto your home screen and tap this icon to open the QR code scanner directly.

Increasing the limits for automatic approval

You can also determine whether you would like to automatically approve payments of up to a certain amount made on terminals via your TWINT app. This means that payments up to the selected amount can be executed without needing to be confirmed. To find out how easy it is to do this, click here.
