Any way one of you could educate me on getting these widgets to work? No idea what I’m doing wrong.
Got a tip for us?

I agree - it feels like Apple could have allowed some flexibility for Widgets desgining which do not require shortcuts.
Fetching weather, time and calendar data - could be done natively. At least these....
It also feels that those who designed the widgets for their apps, could have used a bit more creativity and taste - at least someone coming up with some alternative options.
ANyway - personally, I disabled any action on tap.
I don’t use the stock calendar or the stock weather app, so apart from being a nice design, functionally, it’s pretty useless to me.
When I get home later I will try to pit some notes together. It’s not really hard at all, but absolutely not intuitive.

I appreciate ya but I did end up figuring it out. You explicitly have to use a screenshot as a wallpaper.
Images of palm trees make me feel all sweaty like a Hollywood prostitute.
I apologize but I honestly can’t recall. I went through my current widget offerings and didn’t see it. You can get something pretty nice from the SolarWatch app though.
I am not a crazy fan of Lock Screens.
I rather share my Home Screen as well I spend more time there

I’m fascinated by the differing apps people use
