iPhone forums will now look like Android forums for the past 10 years...
But without the "Now my phone is losing power quickly/randomly restarting/crashing every app" follow-ups.
And yes, I'm speaking from personal experience with Android.
most likely the app is made by someone close to the site owners. they should have just charged $100 a month.
Unfortunately Apple has Crippled widgets and made them non interactive.
Imagine a widget where you could add many more apps per row. To bad, says Apple.

As much as I like using unique icons in Mac OS this is definitely style over substance. App launch speed is one of the key reasons I update to the latest phone. I can’t imagine wanting to slow that down by what seems like a full 2 seconds ever time just to have better looking icons.
If eventually someone comes up with a way to do this without the extra step and non jailbreak then I am in.
For those of you who got the new series 6 watch (like me), you can use Widget Wizard to see your latest SPO2 on the health section of the widget. I am currently using the Quadruple widget option.
If you like spending hours and hours creating icons and backgrounds for your phone, which have to relay to the shortcuts app before the app will open.
It may look cute but it is a waste of time and chews up battery unnecessarily. This kind of thing is for teens and school kids with nothing better to do, than screw around with their phone screen all day and post on Twitter.
ahhh. the "if I dont use it, other ppl who do must be ridiculous and not making sense".
I have actually toyed with the idea of having an all-shortcuts Home Screen, but simply haven’t had the time to sit down and make it work.
The premise is that instead of having shortcuts launch a single app, it can launch actions, or serve as a repository of apps and actions. For example, instead of opening the scanner pro app, I could have a shortcut that lets you choose from a couple of camera-related functions, such as opening scanner pro directly in document scanning mode, launching halide etc, essentially saving you a tap here and there.
Or I could have shortcuts launch me directly into 1 of a number of predetermined google docs.
Aesthetics is one thing. I feel the potential here is still largely untapped.
Has anyone found a Stock Market widget that works like the old one on iOS 13. Would like one that has more than 6 stocks and opens up on the widget screen with a "show more" like the past stock widget did. The current one just gives you a potential for six stocks then opens up the stock app if you click on it. I may not be explaining this correctly.
Why not? You should have a choice how you home screen looks... Not be told how it should be
