so if you watched my last video you know i was over the moon
about the addition of picture in picture in ios 14
but that's not the only major addition coming to ios 14
because finally ios has real time widgets no no no no not that static
page on iphones of the past no no no no we're
talking about real time android like widgets that you can put
anywhere on your ios home screen so if you're interested and you want to
know how to add those type of widgets to your iphone
in iOS 14. stay tuned to the video
what's up people this your boy Vyyyper the man about tech
captain of team apple baby back again for the video
and yes let me show you how to add these real-time widgets
on your iphone like this that's right like those widgets oh
yes do you see the widgets do you see the real time widgets on this iphone this is
an iphone se 2020 running that ios 14 with the real time
widget baby and i'm going to show you how to add these widgets
to your iphone if you're running ios 14 so let me start up the screen recorder
baby and we can get into it so i can show you
how to be like a boss be like vipe and have widgets actual
useful widgets on your iphone in ios 14. so if you see here i have a
music widget that tells me the album and artists i was listening to last
we also have a podcast widget on here but
as you can see there are different sizes i'll go through that in a minute but if
you want to add a widget to your home screen
just press anywhere on the home screen press and long hold
and wait until the jiggle happens once the jingle happens
you want to hit this plus sign at the top here if you hit the plus side then
you can get to the widget oh you could actually
search widgets too but if we keep scrolling
we could see that once we get past the widget templates
we can see all the different types of widgets we can have we have smart stack
which is ios's widgets smart widgets that change depending on what you're
doing or where you're at in any particular part of day so that's
pretty cool we get battery widgets calendar widget map widget music widget
notes photo podcasts reminders screen time shortcuts siri suggestions
and tips and weather so let's say I want to add a siri suggestions widget
so let's tap on that now sometimes you get widgets of different sizes so
this is the bigger widget right here but if we scroll to the left here swipe to
the left then you get a different type of widget
and it's a smaller size but we'll pick one we'll pick the big
one here um tap on it i actually tap on add widget
and then it goes right to the top of that page obviously you got apps that
get shipped out but that is how you add a widget to
your iphone with ios 14. now with this widget you can move it
around things like that like i said this is stuff that you
cannot do with iphone widgets of the past
but this is real time widgets these are siri suggestions so
if i turn off the jiggle and click on the widget
um now it's bringing up facebook and banking and things like that
let's see let's click on the twitter so it opens up twitter that's cool
so we go back that's a whole widget it's kind of weird because it kind of blends
in with the background i thought i lost the widget but that's
that's the widget now if you want to uh remove a widget you
could long press on the widget and hit remove widget like there
so widget gone but if we want to go back and add it again
long pressing on the home screen or long press on the app
oh no no don't press on the widget that won't work
if we long press on uh open area of the home screen
on of course now it's not working because the home screen is crowded but
if i go to an open area and tap on it hit the
plus again and now we're back to widgets let's add
a battery widget right so we go to battery again we can swipe
to the left here to get different size uh widgets you get
a status widget i don't know what's going
on with that there's nothing there but let's see what does that do
um oh i know what this is so if you have multiple things going on
like on your iphone like if you have like a bluetooth headphone
connected or other thing connected to the iphone all of their battery levels
will be visible in this widget so that's pretty cool i like that
but we can remove that widget because that is what it is let me show you what
smart stack is so with smart stack you can make it a small widget or you
can make it a bigger widget let's go with a smaller widget so we add
the smart stack widget so now the little dots are right there
because now i can just swipe up in the widget and it changes widget
like i said you could change this or it will change automatically
depending on the type of day and what you're doing
or what app it thinks you might need during that type of day and this
is legit but yeah it's nice to have widget finally on ios
i know a lot of people have been asking for widgets for a very long time
but that's how you do the widget thing on your iphone
in ios 14. but VypNation let me know how do you feel about real time widgets
