Widget questions

[kat.hayes]

1. Where are the settings to change which widgets display or the options for them?
2. I am not quite sure how the widgets differ From the previous option in the last version that displayed the different apps and let you cycle through them. What is the difference?

Thanks

1. Open widgets. Touch hold on screen to add/delete.
2. Widgets give specific information on the apps you choose to add. Fully swiping up gives the all apps.

2. Widgets are a huge change from the previous OS. They provide a very limited set of information from a limited set of apps, most of which is available from complications, but do so in a tiny portion of the screen and make it harder to get to your favorite apps.

Well, widgets really are a worse way to launch your favorites apps, but there’s a better way to launch apps in watchOS 10, anyway.

I find the new grid view option for app view (single press of the crown) works better than the old favorites way of using the dock in watchOS 9.

After the crown press, you are one tap away from launching one of your ~17 (45mm series 7) most favorite apps, once you’ve sorted your apps.

In watchos 9, favorites dock was one tap away from one app, a swipe and a tap away from two others, and longer swipes and a tap for any others.

Personal preferences are what they are, but wrt launching favorite apps, this really seems way better to me.

That. Actually. Makes. Sense.

I still hate the widgets but good suggestion on rearranging favorites to the top! Thanks.
