Widgets show information from users’ preferred apps, and the presence of widgets has allowed people to express their creativity while adding more to what Apple users can personalize on their phones. Below are three popular widget apps and what you can do with the features within each app.
Widgetsmith
Apple users commonly use Widgetsmith because of the simplicity of the app and its content. The Widgetsmith interface is straightforward to use and is very flexible in what you can do with each type of widget. Many use Widgetsmith to incorporate their favorite pictures to their home screen to add more personality besides the home screen wallpaper. When creating a widget, the border, border color, and theme can be adjusted, while an extra filter can also be applied.
With the new update, Widgetsmith improved the new things you can add to personalize your lock screen. These new features include adding some text at the top or bottom of where the time displays on the screen. You could also add circular or rectangular widgets. The circular widgets that Widgetsmith offers are the moon phase based on your location, photos in an album, a symbol, and many more. If you enjoy looking at the moon and into astrology, this widget app is an excellent app to look into and personalize.
Color Widgets
