Genshin Impact players need resin to farm for the resources required to build their characters and weapons. The current version of the game limits the total resin to 160, and when used, it takes 21 hours to replenish.

It can be quite a hassle to launch Genshin Impact and log in to your account just to see that your resin still has not maxed out. The developers have introduced a solution for this in their latest HoYoLAB update. The new update adds a widget feature that allows players to track their resin on their mobile devices. The following article will guide players on how to get the HoYoLAB widget to monitor Genshin Impact's original resin.

HoYoverse officials launched a new update for the Genshin Impact Battle Chronicle on November 7, 2022. For those who don't know, the Battle Chronicle is an official feature in HoYoLAB for players to track their in-game stats. They can also check out other users' stats on the HoYoLAB app or website. The new update adds a widget feature to the app with various shortcuts.

With the new mobile widget feature, players can check how many hours until their original resin is capped at 160. Additionally, players can also get quick access to all Genshin Impact tools on their mobile devices at any time. The widget comes in two sizes, as shown in the picture below.
