My usual list of widget complaints
2025-07-01 00:00
I bitch about this every year
Let me pick the defaults
I always turn off suggestions and usually smart rotate. Let me just have that as a default.
More sizes
So we have the small 2x2, the medium 4x2 and the large 4x4 on iPhone; plus an extra large 8x4 on iPad.
- I’d like a 1x1 for when you’re just using it as a button
- Also 4x6 to fill the entire iPhone screen.
- Plus various skinny widgets; both with width of 2 and 3
Adding stacks
- When I add a new stack, don’t pre-fill it with junk, just let me pick by myself.
- Let me turn a single widget into a stack when I long press
Showing widgets with data from other devices
We can do this with iPhone widgets on macOS. Let me do the same across all devices.
