How to add photo widgets to your iPhone&iPad

You can now place "widgets" on the home screen, allowing you to pin photos, weather information, and more to your home screen! At this time, we will explain how to add photo widgets to your home screen and make it aesthetic🫶💓

We recommend using widget app more than the standard Apple’s app!

Apple’s photo app allows you to add photo widgets, but you cannot control the photos to show!( It means some photo you don’t want to show will also be displayed on your home screen!😭)

As an alternative, we recommend to use a widget app specialized to customizing widgets!

With widget app, you can put photo widgets with only the photos you want, and you can also display various information with your favorite photo, such as a clock, anniversary date, weather, etc.!

In this article, I will explain how to add a photo widget by using WidgetClub, an app recommended by me who has used more than 50 different widget apps, including WidgetSmith, Photo Widget, Color widget and so on!

App to use

I recommend to use WidgetClub, an app specialized to home screen customization that will give your home screen aesthetic, including wallpapers, widgets, icons, and more!

How to add photos to your home screen

1.Download the WidgetClub app

2.Open the WidgetClub app, tap the "+" button in the middle, and select "Widget”

3.Select your favorite widget size from Small, Meidum, and Large size, and select "Photo" widget.

(In the example, I selected small size photo widget!)

4.On the Edit Widget screen, tap "Edit Background Image" > "Photo" and select your favorite image you want for the widget.

(In the sample, I chose a photo of illustration)

5.After selecting a photo, tap the "Next" button to go to the share page. Scroll down and tap the "Set" button.

6.The widget setting slots will appear, and tap the slot to set the widget.

7.Return to the Home screen, tap an empty space, and hold down the app icon until it trembles. A + button will appear in the upper left (or upper right) corner.

8.A search box will appear. Search for "Widgetclub" in English and select the WidgetClub app in the search results.

9.The widgets you set in the widget setting box will appear as candidates, find the widget you want to set and tap "Add widget". It’s done!

(In the sample, I set the widget in the #2 slot of Small, so move to the right until that frame appears.)

Notes;

• The widget comes in three sizes (Small/Medium/Large), and you can set up to 20 frames for each!
• The larger-size widgets are on the right, so if you set a large-size widget, move to the right until you find it!

Let’s check how to add widget from step 5 we wrote above.
