We waited a long time for Home Screen widgets in iOS but they are here at last, and there are some truly great ones out there. It’s still early days, though: widgets are a new feature and developers are still getting to grips with it, and we are likely to see large numbers arrive in the App Store as time goes on.
For now, we’ve unearthed the best widgets so far. You can mix these widgets with built-in iOS ones side by side or one top of the other in a stack. Some are alternatives to Apple widgets, but others offer brand-new features and functions that are brilliant. For example, some apps for iOS 14 enable you to design your own custom widgets using fonts, colours, photos and more. Search the App Store for these.
