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.
