Widgets are small, helpful blocks that show useful info right on your iPhone’s home screen — like the weather, calendar, battery, or reminders. If you want your iPhone to feel more personal and useful at a glance, adding widgets is a great way to do that. Here's how you can add, edit, or remove them easily.
Step 1: Add a Widget
On your home screen, tap and hold on any empty area or app icon until all the apps start shaking.
Tap the plus (+) icon at the top-left of the screen.
You’ll now see a list of available widgets from your apps. You can scroll through or use the search bar.
Once you find the widget you want (like Weather or Calendar), tap on it.
Choose the size you like — small, medium, or large.
Tap "Add Widget", and it will appear on your home screen.
Move it to where you want, then tap "Done" in the top-right corner.
Step 2: Edit a Widget
Some widgets let you change their settings (like choosing which calendar or city to show):
Tap and hold the widget you want to change.
Tap “Edit Widget” from the menu that appears.
Make the changes you want. For example, you might select a different reminders list or location.
Tap anywhere outside the widget when you’re done.
Step 3: Remove a Widget
If you no longer need a widget, you can remove it:
Tap and hold the widget.
Tap “Remove Widget”.
Confirm by tapping “Remove” again.
