Those widgets include useful applications like a family calendar, a shared shopping list, sticky notes, to-do lists and reminders. Think of the whole thing as a multifunctional family bulletin board. You can configure it so that part of the screen has the usual rotating array of ambient content like headlines and weather updates (those who already have an Echo Show will be familiar with this), while the rest of it can be customized with various Alexa widgets. Since it has such a large display, Amazon has introduced a redesigned home screen to go along with the Echo Show 15.
