How to add widgets to your iPad’s home screen?

For many years, the iPad has had a screen called “Today View” that allows you to view and use various widgets. But starting with iPadOS 14, you can now move these widgets to your home screen.

When your iPad is in landscape mode, the Today view is now on the left side of the first page of the home screen. If the iPad is in portrait mode, you can swipe to the right to see the Today view and its widgets.

Through the Today View, iPadOS 14 now lets you add widgets to your home screen.

How to add widgets to your iPad’s home screen

Before anything, hold your iPhone in landscape mode.

1. Make sure you’re on the home screen – swipe until you’re on the first, right-most screen.

2. Tap and hold any blank spot on the home screen until the app icons and folders start to jiggle.

3. Tap the plus sign at the top-left of the screen, above the Today View. You should see the list of widgets pop up to the right of the Today View.

4. To pin a widget to the top of the Today View, drag it from the widget pop-up to the gray square at the top of the Today View. To add more, tap the plus sign again to re-open the widgets pop-up and repeat.

5. To add a widget to the bottom of the Today View, tap the widget you want and then tap “Add Widget.”

6. When you’re finished adding widgets, tap “Done” in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Note that you have a choice of what size you want the widget to be when you do it this way. It’s not permanently stuck at the bottom.
