How do you get widgets on iOS 15?

Answered by Edward Huber

To add widgets on iOS 15, follow these steps:

1. Long-press on your iPhone’s home screen: Find an area where no apps are located and press and hold on the screen until the apps start jiggling.

2. Tap the Plus icon: In the top right-hand corner of the screen, you’ll see a Plus icon (+). Tap on it to access the widget gallery.

3. Scroll through the widgets: Swipe left or right to browse the available widget options. Widgets are organized based on category, such as productivity, communication, or health. Take your time to explore and find the widget that suits your needs.

4. Choose the widget you want to use: Once you find a widget you like, tap on it to select it. You can preview the widget to see how it will look on your home screen.

5. Add the widget: Tap the “Add Widget” button to add the selected widget to your home screen. The widget will be added to the current page you’re on, but you can later move it to your desired location.

6. Drag the widget to your desired location: To move the widget, long-press on it until it lifts off the screen. Then, drag it to your desired location on the home screen. You can place it alongside your apps or create a dedicated widget page by dragging it to the right edge of the screen until a new page is created.

7. Resize or customize the widget (optional): Some widgets allow you to resize them or customize their content. To do this, long-press on the widget and select “Edit Widget” or look for customization options within the widget itself.

8. Explore more widgets: If you want to add more widgets, repeat the process by tapping the Plus icon again and selecting another widget from the gallery.

Widgets on iOS 15 offer a convenient way to access information and perform quick actions without having to open apps. They come in various sizes and designs, allowing you to personalize your home screen and enhance your productivity or stay updated with your favorite apps.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you get started with widgets on iOS 15. Enjoy customizing your home screen and making it truly yours!
