So now we have two categories of Widgets right? We have the old and the new, right?
At the bottom of the today view there is this special option which allows for one to choose from widgets pre iOS 14.
Apple should just delete that option in my opinion. If the developer doesn’t update its widgets to iOS 14 then I wouldn’t want them around to be honest
From my vantage point, now that Post-It Notes has updated their widget to something more functional and colorful on iPadOS, I would really like Apple to update the OS so that I can finally move a larger widget out in the main apps and folders area…
Old style widgets are more interactive than iOS 14 widgets on the iPhone. For the time being, iOS 14 widgets are merely displaying information (apart from Apple’s shortcuts, as far as I know).
For example, in Fantastical, the old style widget allows me to select a day and display its appointments. In Omnifocus’ widget, I can check a task as done directly, without opening the app. This can’t be done in iOS 14 for the time being.
Strange as it may seem, some old style widgets are more powerful than the modern ones. In my opinion, until Apple adds this functionality to iOS 14, home widgets should stay put.
Hold your horses! There’s at least one widget in my legacy widgets area (what are we calling that zone?) that I suspect might not see an update any time soon, but I’m really going to miss if it’s forced out… there’s nothing wrong with the widget as it is, and I’ll be happy to keep it around for as long as I can!
I like having my Today screen with the more interactive widgets. If I’m in another app besides the Home Screen, I can just swipe down to see a widget. Otherwise, I’d have to go back to the Home Screen to refer to a widget then jump back into my app.
I like an app and widget free Home Screen for peace of mind. And I love the Photos widget on my home screen. It’s really improved my joy about using my iPhone and it does a great job of just digging up random photos that I love of friends and family
