Until now, the iPhone home screens were only designed to host applications. From here you could access any site or application on your iPhone, however the Widgets are small elements that allow you to view information inside the app without having to open the app..

These Widgets until now were located on the specific Widgets screen. To access the Widgets screen you had to go to the first home screen of your iPhone (the most on the left) and slide the screen from the left to the right. However, many users longed to be able to enjoy these Widgets directly on any of the home screens of your iPhone.

Well, this has changed thanks to the iOS update since now we can add Widgets to the iPhone home screen. This makes it easy to see information about certain applications at a glance on the home screen of your mobile device. Also, as if that were not enough, now iPhone allows the installation and use of custom Widgets, that is, we can install apps that allow us to add new Widgets to the screen of our iPhone..

 Also keep in mind that now iPhone, in addition to adding Widgets to the home screen of your iPhone, also allows you to change their size. In this way, Apple allows a personalization of the home screen of your iPhone at a level similar to that of Android devices.
