What is a “Widget”?

#1 image of How to add a Widget to iPhone home screen

A widget is a feature that allows you to pin frequently used information to your home screen! For example, you can pin weather forecast info on your home screen, so that you don’t need to open the weather app to check it.

You can add widgets without downloading any apps if they are already installed on your iPhone, but the scope of design customization is limited, so we recommend using a specialized widget app!

Difference in design customizability between pre-installed apps and Specialized widget apps

As you can see, widgets for already-installed apps are simple, but they may not be enough to make your home screen stylish, since they do not allow much freedom in design changes.
