Using a widget on the Huawei P20 Pro you can easily display information and special functions from an app directly on the homescreen.
But of course you first have to place such a widget on the Home screen.
How this works in detail on the new Huawei P20 Pro is explained step by step in the following instructions. In addition, we also want to explain how to remove such a widget if it is no longer needed.
Add widget - Homescreen Huawei P20 Pro
1. Press with your finger long on a free area of the homescreen - It will now shrink and show a small menu at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select the "Widgets" button in the menu to display a list of all available widgets on the Huawei P20 Pro.
3. Search the list, which is sorted alphabetically, for the widget you want to place. Take a weather widget as a test.
4. Press and hold the widget with your finger until it lifts off and can be placed on the home screen.
5. Release the widget when it is in the correct position.
You have now successfully added a widget to the homescreen of your Huawei P20 Pro. Follow this procedure for each additional widget you want to place on the Home screen.

Sorry the advice about removing a widget on the Huawei p20 pro is incorrect. There is no option at the top of the screen. A floating remove option appears but disappears when you start to move the widget so you cannot remove a widget from a home screen. This is a very annoying bug in the EMUI software (not the only bug unfortunately).

The correct procedure is to press and hold the widget until the phone vibrates and a floating "Remove" option appears, then let go. The floating remove should stay there. Click the icon to delete the widget.
