How to use widgets on iOS 14 to make your home screen aesthetic AF.
If you’ve been seeing people humble-brag about their super-cute iPhone home screens on Instagram and Tik Tok lately, you’re likely wondering how to make and use Widgets on iOS 14. Or, if you haven’t updated your phone and don’t have the new software yet, you might not even know what I’m talking about—let me fill you in.
What’s the point of the new Widgets, you ask? Well, it’s half aesthetics and half purpose. If you choose to implement Widgets that correlate with your apps, they can offer easier access to your Calendar, your Notes, Reminders et cetera. Or, you can do what myself and so many others are doing and use Widgets as an opportunity to fill your home screen with cute quotes and graphics.
First things first, how to get the Widgets. You’ll need to head over to the App Store and download a free app called Widgetsmith. After that, open the app and you’ll see the option to create Small, Medium and Large Widgets. A Small Widget is the size of four normal app icons arranged in a square, a Medium is the size of eight icons in two rows of four, and a Large Widget covers roughly half of the phone’s home screen. You can see a few Medium Widgets I made below.
Of course, your home screen doesn’t have to be as chaotic as mine. I get that for some people, that’s just too much going on! You can use the new Widgets to create a colorful, crazy collage like I did, or use them to simplify your screen for a more minimalist look. The choice is yours, and I’m kind of thrilled Apple is giving us these design options to get creative with.
