This widget could turn you back to using Apple's Contacts apps, and it could at least make you appreciate it more.Ĭontacts now lets you add a widget to your screen which displays one, four, or six of who Apple says are "the people you care about most." Nicely, that's whether you interact over phone, Messages, email, or any combination of those. Or you may have not realised you were using it at all, as you typically look up numbers in the Phone app, and email addresses in Mail. You may have spurned the Contacts app in favor of, say, Cardhop or Bus圜ontacts. These will be a mixture of Apple's and third-party ones, and the biggest difference this time is that there are many more of Apple's in there.Įasily the most notable new widget is Contacts. The top of the list will be a selection of recommended ones, based on what apps you have and what you tend to do.īeneath that, there's an alphabetical list of all apps you've got that include widgets. Now tap the + sign at top left of the screen, and choose a widget from the quite possibly long list presented to you. Or if your finger slips and you tap an app icon by accident, keep pressing like you meant it, and then tap the Edit Home Screen button when it appears. Just as before, press and hold on any blank area of any home screen on your iPhone. How to find, set up and install widgets in iOS 15 They come in the form of entirely new widgets, plus in some cases, also more abilities than we're used to. We still can't, say, actually write an Apple Note in the Notes widget, we can just read previous ones, and tap to open the full app if we want more.Įverything NEW in iOS 15 Beta 4: Safari Redesign Is OPTIONAL, MagSafe Battery Support, & More!!īut if that particular type of functionality hasn't come yet, a lot of other useful additions have. Widgets in iOS 15 remain quick and visual, showing us useful information, and then taking us through to their app for anything else. Now with iOS 15, we've got more - although probably not in the way we were hoping. With iOS 14, Apple finally brought widgets to the iPhone and gave us a way to interrupt our neat rows of app icons with things that were more immediately, visually useful. The way you find and set up widgets hasn't changed in iOS 15, but what there are, and what they can do, has.
