My Widget and Home Screen Setup on iOS 14
Despite WWDC being a few weeks late this year, all signs point to Apple’s fall OS updates still launching to the public at about their normal time. And if my TestFlight catalog is any indication, that means a flood of third-party widgets for iOS and iPadOS 14 will soon become available. Developers are taking all kinds of different and creative approaches to their widgets, and combined with the ability to add widgets to the Home screen, this will unlock a wide variety of widget setups among users.
On the cusp of the OS and third-party widget releases, and following Federico and John discussing widgets on this week’s AppStories, I wanted to share about how I’m approaching widgets – especially on iPhone – and why.
