For free options, you can choose between Time, Date, Custom, Calendar, Reminders, Health & Activity and Astronomy widgets. Each time you choose, you will have different ways to customize the widget.
For example, if you select the Date widget, you can change the font, tint color, background color, and border color.
After creating the desired widget on the home screen, exit the application. Then go to the main editing screen by holding on the screen. Click the plus sign and search for Widgetsmith. Then choose what size you want to add to your screen, corresponding to the size of the widget created in the app.
Once added, it may not be the widget you want. However, you can change which one appears. Tap Done to exit screen editing, then hold the widget you want to edit. Click on “Change Widget”, then on the size button that appears.
You will be presented with a list of all the widgets you have created in the application that you can switch between. As soon as you click on one, it will automatically switch.
How to Edit Your Home Screen’s Apps And Widgets
It might seem a little confusing at first when you move all these widgets and apps around the home screen. However, there are a few things you should know that will make organizing your screens much easier.
After you press and hold the home screen so that it can be edited, a dash will appear in the upper left corner of apps and widgets. Clicking on them will remove them from the screen.
In the case of apps, instead of completely uninstalling them, you can now move them to your app library, which you can access by swiping all the way to the right with your finger.
If you scroll all the way to the left, you’ll open a screen where you can place iPhone widgets if you don’t want them to appear on your main home screen. By keeping one pressed here, you can edit the widget, remove it, or add more by scrolling all the way down and hitting Edit and then Customize when things start to shake.
On the main home screen, you can still group apps together as you did in previous iOS versions, by dragging at least two together to create a box.
You will also find that the home screen is now divided into sections.
For example, one home screen might contain six small iPhone widgets or 24 apps. Medium widgets are equal in size to two small widgets, and large widgets are equal in size to two medium ones.
If you want a seamless home screen, keeping these space sections in mind will help you organize your apps and widgets and make good use of all your space.
