Adding a Widget on iPhone
Widgets are a fantastic way to enhance your iPhone’s functionality and personalize your home screen. With just a few simple steps, you can add widgets to your iPhone and enjoy quick access to important information or frequently used apps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of adding a widget on your iPhone.
Step 1: Unlock Your iPhone
To begin, unlock your iPhone by pressing the home button or using Face ID or Touch ID.
Step 2: Access the Home Screen
Once you have unlocked your iPhone, you will be taken to the home screen. This is where you can add widgets for easy access.
Step 3: Enter Edit Mode
To add a widget, you need to enter edit mode. Press and hold any empty space on the home screen until the apps start jiggling and small icons with “x” symbols appear in the corner of each app icon.
Step 4: Tap on the “+” Button
In edit mode, locate the “+” button in the top-left corner of the screen and tap on it. This will open the Widget Gallery.
Step 5: Choose a Widget
The Widget Gallery offers various widgets that you can choose from. Scroll through the available options or use the search bar at the top to find a specific widget. You can preview each widget by tapping on it.
- Battery: This widget allows you to monitor your iPhone’s battery level at a glance.
- Weather: Get real-time weather updates right on your home screen with this widget.
- Calendar: Stay organized by displaying upcoming events and appointments from your calendar.

Step 6: Customize the Widget
After selecting a widget, you have the option to customize it. Some widgets offer different sizes or display options. To customize a widget, tap on the “Add Widget” button, and then select the desired size or style.
Step 7: Place the Widget
Once you have customized your widget, it’s time to place it on your home screen. Tap and hold the widget preview, then drag it to the desired location on your home screen. You can also move it between different home screens by dragging it to either edge of the screen.
Step 8: Exit Edit Mode
After adding your widget, exit edit mode by pressing the home button or swiping up from the bottom of the screen (depending on your iPhone model). This will save your changes and lock your widgets in place.
Congratulations! You have successfully added a widget to your iPhone’s home screen. Now you can enjoy quick access to important information or frequently used apps without having to open them individually.
