How to monitor Genshin Impact Resin using new HoYoLAB widget on phones: Step-by-step guide

Genshin Impact players must save and use their Resin in order to obtain the materials needed to craft their weapons and characters. In the current version, the game limits the total Resin to a maximum of 160, and after use, it will replenish in 21 hours.

This mechanic can be time-consuming, as players need to open the game and check their Resin number. Fortunately, the recent HoYoLAB update released a useful widget to fix the problem.

Players may now track their Resin on mobile devices with this widget feature. This article will guide players on how to set up the HoYoLAB widget to track the original Resin in Genshin Impact.
