Widget feature disabled

[AC Question]

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 tablet running Android 6.0.1
The Widget feature disappeared; if I press the screen, the only option that I have is to change the wallpaper.

You're correct that a long-press on a Home screen doesn't give you the option to add a widget. You have to open the App Drawer, then select the WIDGETS tab at the top. There you'll find all of the widgets that you can drag to the Home screen.
