Apple News Smart Stack Widget

[pudge104]

I had a Smart Stack set up with News and then Topic (Music News). It wasn’t working correctly after the update, so I deleted it. Now I can’t get them to combine again. It’s either one or the other in the stand alone News widget and Topic isn’t an option in the Smart Stack. Am I missing something?

Make a stack. Remove everything bar News. Then create individual news widgets and drag them over the top of each other.

You are exactly right. I figured this out myself literally moments ago. Thanks for the reply.

They really need to add a + button to add any widget to your stack afterwards. Makes no sense that you can only rearrange or remove widgets that are already in the stack but not add new ones

You’ve added steps you don’t need. You don’t need to make a stack first. You can just create individual ones, then drag on top to make a stack.

@itsmilo I guess they didn’t do the + as you can create an individual one you want and drag it on top of the existing stack to add it. Same user functionality as creating folders by dragging one app onto another.
