How to Make a Widget
In these steps, we’ll use the app Widgetsmith to create a widget. You can download this app from the App Store.
After downloading Widgetsmith, open the app. Tap Add (Size) Widget to make a widget of your chosen size. Tap the added widget, then tap the Default Widget box. Edit your widget by choosing the style, font, and colors. Once you’ve finished editing, tap the back arrow in the top left and then tap Save. Exit the app and go to your home screen, then tap and hold until you see a plus icon in the top left corner. Now either search for Widgetsmith or tap on it in the directory. Choose which size widget you wish to add and tap on Add Widget. Then tap Done on your home screen. To change the widget to the one you created, tap and hold on the widget and then select Edit Widget. Select the widget you wish to show on your home screen from the list.
How Do You Customize Widgets on the iPhone?
Depending on what app you’re using, customizing widgets may differ among each one. However, nearly all of them will use the same method of adding widgets to your home screen and editing them by holding down on the widget and tapping Edit Widget.
In the App Store, you can search for “customizable widgets,” and you should be able to find apps you can make widgets on and then use on your iPhone home screen. Read the app’s description to see what kind of widgets you can customize through the app.
You can also make shortcut widgets using the Shortcuts app that Apple introduced in the iOS 14 update. These widgets allow you to perform tasks in an app without having to open the app. These are different than most widgets, though, which mainly display information.
