Add the Widget: After choosing your preferred widget, tap "Add Widget."

Position the Widget: While your apps are still jiggling, use your finger to move the widget to your desired spot on the home screen.

Creating Widget Stacks

If you want to keep your home screen organized while enjoying the benefits of multiple widgets, widget stacks are the solution. Here's how to create one:

Add Widgets: Follow the steps mentioned above to add a widget to your screen.

Stack Widgets: Add another widget of the same size to the same screen.

Stack Widgets: While your apps and widgets are jiggling, drag one widget on top of the other.

Finalize: Tap "Done."

You can stack up to ten widgets and easily scroll through them by swiping up or down. Remember to create stacks with widgets of the same size for the best results. To rearrange widgets within a stack, hold the stack until a menu appears, click the "Edit Stack" option, and drag and drop widgets as needed.

Creating a Smart Stack

For a dynamically curated collection of widgets that adapt to your location, time, and frequently used apps, consider adding a Smart Stack. It's simple to set up:

Access Widget Gallery: Touch and hold a blank area of your iPhone home screen until the apps start jiggling.

Select Smart Stack: Tap the plus sign and choose "Smart Stack" from the list.

Choose a Smart Stack Widget: Swipe left to find the Smart Stack widget that suits you.

Add the Widget: After selecting your preferred Smart Stack widget, tap "Add Widget."

Position the Widget: While your apps are still jiggling, move the Smart Stack widget to your preferred location on the home screen.

Like custom widget stacks, you can scroll through the widgets in a Smart Stack by swiping up or down. To change the order of widgets within a Smart Stack, follow the same process as you would for custom widget stacks.
