The key to success in DevOps and site reliability engineering lies in reducing your mean time to resolution (MTTR). Widgets can help you do that, even when you're not in front of your computer.

## Before you get started with widgets [#requirements]

To set up [iOS widgets](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207122) on your iPhone or iPad, make sure you're running iOS 14 or higher and have the [New Relic mobile app](install-newrelic-ios-mobile-app) installed.

## Available iOS widgets [#available-ios-widgets]

A variety of widgets are available to give you control wherever you are:

**Issue counts:**

Displays an easy to read count of open issues
