Handy Apple Tips for Widgets
Widgets on the iPhone, iPad and Mac offer quick access to information and functions of apps, such as the weather, agenda or music, without opening the app. On the iPhone and iPad, widgets can be added to the home screen, access screen or today display, while they can also be placed on the Mac on the desktop or notification center.
Below you will find five handy Apple tips for widets, so you can really get everything out of the mini apps and you become a real pro user. Click on the tip to read it in full.
Place widgets on the home screen and use smart stack
Since iOS 14, the widgets are no longer only hidden on a separate page that you can approach from the start or access screen. From this software update you can even add widgets to the home screen and place between the apps. Since the launch of iOS 14, many of you searched for a step -by -step plan to place widgets on the home screen.
Widgets are small info screens that belong to an application, so you can quickly adjust your thermostat or lighting, view the share price or view your next destinations. The widgets are mainly in the today screen, but can also be placed on the home screen from iOS 14, unfortunately only on an iPhone.
Use the handy contacts widget for iPhone or iPad
In recent years, Apple has expanded the widget offer with, among other things, the contacts widget. Through this mini app you can keep contact with family and friends more easily from your home screen. You can reach them via telephone, messages, facetime or mail.
In addition, you can immediately see whether the contact has switched on a focus (do not disturb). When the location is shared with you, you can also immediately read it from the widget. You can do even more via ‘Share with Family’, such as a purchase or a screen time request from your children.
Use battery widget on iPhone or iPad
With the help of the standard battery widget for iPhone or iPad you can see the battery status of all connected products at a glance. The widget is primarily intended for users who have multiple Apple products linked to their iDevice. Since iOS 14 you can not only view these between the widgets, but also place them on your home screen.
By default, the widget will show the battery level of your iPhone or iPad, not really shocking because you can look at that in the status bar or via the control panel anyway. However, if you have linked multiple devices to, for example, your iPhone, the battery level of these devices will also appear in the widget, useful for AirPods and the Apple Watch.
