Set rotating widget

To add a rotating widget to your iPhone you have to install an application as a quike widget on your iPhone. Apple itself does not offer the possibility for such widgets, which means you are dependent on an app from a third party. Did you download Quike Widget for free on your iPhone? In that case you can get started with adding new widgets. You put the rotating widgets on your home screen as follows:

  1. Open ‘quike widget’ on your iPhone;

  2. Tap ‘transparent’;

  3. Set a screenshot of your home screen (without apps) under ‘Normal Mode’ and ‘Dark Mode’;

  4. Choose ‘Large’ and tap ‘Add’;

  5. Select ‘Circle Icon’;

  6. Tap an icon to select another app;

  7. Then go under ‘Background Picture’ to the second round with rasters;

  8. Tap ‘top’ or ‘bottom’, depending on the position of the widget on your home screen;

  9. Turn on the switch under ‘Icon Rotation’;

  10. Tap ‘Save> Watch Video to Unlock Forever’ and watch the video;

  11. Go to the home screen of your iPhone and hold the screen;

  12. Tap ‘Change> Add widget’ on the top left of the screen;

  13. Choose ‘quike> large’ and tap ‘Add widget’;

  14. Hold down the widget and choose ‘Change Widget’;

  15. Finally, set under ‘Select Widget> Cicrle Icon#1’.

More iPhone tips

Quike Widgets can be used free of charge, but you will see advertisements. It can sometimes take a while before the advertising videos appear. When you have viewed the advertisement you get unlimited access to the feature. So you only have to play the advertisement once to add the rotating widget to your iPhone. You can then adjust the widget to your own wishes.

In some cases it happens that Quike Widgets uses Chinese as the official language. Is that the case with you? Then go on your iPhone to ‘Settings> Apps> Quike> Language’ and select ‘English’. In this way you adjust the language of the application and you can easily find all settings in English. Did you like this tip and do you want to know more about your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch?
