31

If you’re a fan of the iPhone, you might already know that there are plenty of useful widgets you can download to make your smartphone more useful. Those widgets are calendar, weather, reminders, photos, and screen time. You can download the widgets to your device or use them from an app like Apple’s Home screen.

Weather

The iOS 14 update is packed with widgets perfect for weather apps. They’re well-designed and easy to use. Plus, they have a range of different styles and sizes.

Weather apps are free, but a paid subscription will unlock extra features. Some of these extras include a cool temperature graph and the ability to change the app icon.

Weather apps are a great way to get instant notifications on weather forecasts. For example, the NOAA application will show you a picture that matches the weather. It will also give you a 10-day forecast and weather alerts. You can also see the weather’s motion and cloud cover.

If you’re looking for a more customizable weather app, consider using Widgetsmith. This app lets you make your widgets and schedule them. As part of a paid subscription, you’ll even be able to change the app’s theme.

Reminders

The iOS 14 release offers new features to the Reminders app. It’s a fantastic tool for organizing and tackling daily tasks. Added to your Lock Screen or home screen, these widgets will help you remember things like appointments and deadlines.

To add a widget, go to the widgets menu. Tap Customize. Select your desired list and size. You can choose to create a small, medium, or large widget.

Some widgets can show the weather forecast or upcoming calendar events. These apps work across platforms so that you can add them to your home screens on your iPad, iPhone, and Android devices.

For the most part, these new features will help you to get things done faster. In particular, the latest date picker will make selecting times on your calendar easier. However, it may take some time to get used to it.

Calendar

If you’ve recently downloaded iOS 14, you’ve probably noticed a new Calendar widgets feature. These widgets allow you to keep track of your schedules without opening up a virtual calendar app.

It’s a great way to see what’s coming up and if you’re planning on attending any meetings. You can even set up reminders for your upcoming events.

If you’re looking for a more customizable solution, you may want to try a third-party app. One option is Documents by Readdle. The widget allows you to access almost anything on your phone, including your documents, files, and actions.

Another option is WidgetCal. This widget is a calendar that looks like a monthly planner page. It can integrate multiple sources, including Google and Microsoft’s calendars and other apps. And, like Apple’s own widget, it’s also compatible with dark mode.

Screen Time

You can use widgets if you want to know how much time you’re spending on your iPhone. There are many options out there, including default widgets from Apple, as well as third-party apps. All of them provide helpful features and styles.

Widgets offer the best of both worlds: they are a quick way to access your favorite apps without taking up any extra space on your home screen. They also help you keep track of important notes at a glance.

iOS 14 gives users the ability to add widgets to their home screens. Users can select a size, choose a category, and scroll through a list of devices before tapping one.

The Screen Time widget, for example, lets you see how many hours you’ve spent using your device. You can also view your daily averages and set up App Limits. These can set daily and weekly time limits for specific apps.

Photos

One of the most prominent features of iOS 14 is the ability to add widgets to your home screen. These are tiny programs that can be customized to display pictures. Adding these widgets is easy. They can be placed anywhere on the net.

There are two types of widgets available on iOS 14. You can get the Photos widget or the Smart Stack widget. The Photos widget shows all photos in your library. It rotates through different images randomly every hour.

The Smart Stack widget is a signature widget from Apple. Users can customize it by long pressing on the device. This allows users to select an image and edit the stack.

The Photos widget has the option to show the date. You can also disable the device by clicking on the “x” icon at the app’s top.
