No Widgets option to add Widgets on Hisense Infinity E30 Lite Home screen Android 9

[Android Central Question]

I have a Hisense Infinity E30 Lite with Android 9.
I have been trying to search for a solution everywhere.
On my Home Screen when tap and hold, there is no option for widgets or to add one,
Just have “Home settings”, “Shortcuts” and “Wallpapers”… No Widgets or Add Widgets ANYWHERE.
Its like I don’t have the ability to add any widgets to my phone at all?

Please Help! :,(

Welcome to Android Central! It's an Android Go phone, which is more limited than full Android. You could try installing a 3rd party launcher like Nova Launcher and see if that supports widgets.

So frustrating. Apparently the tv was set to not allow installation of apks it feels could be damaging. Got that unchecked so I could install, but the ATV showed it was not granted binding to use widgets turned on developer options and abd. Tried to grant access from another computer. I did gain access to tv ok but could not find the ATV app using the instructions given in the ATV launcher error message. The name must be wrong or the command not correct. I gave up for now.

Thank you. I think I'll try not using --user 0 in the abd command. Saw that on another poston XDA.
