Nothing just launched a new app for its Nothing Phones. Called Nothing Community Widgets, the app is created by Nothing in collaboration with its community members and is slated to include several widgets that you can add to your Home Screen.

The first widget is the classic Snake game that was one of the most popular games on Symbian handsets, most notably Nokia. Although installation of the app should get you the widget automatically, if you're unable to get it on your device, here's how to make sure you get the Snake game right now.

How to get the classic Snake game on your Nothing Phone's Home Screen

The Snake game widget is available via the Nothing Community Widgets app. But before you get all nostalgic, there are some requirements you'll need to fulfil first.

Requirements

Here's what you'll need to get the snake game on your device:

  • A Nothing Phone - Nothing Phone 1, Nothing Phone 2, Nothing Phone 2a, or Nothing Phone 2a Plus.
  • Nothing Launcher (updated)
  • Nothing Community Widgets app
