It was unclear but does anyone know if iPadOS 14 will support widgets displayed all throughout the home screen? As opposed to the current iPadOS 13 functionality where all widgets are confined only to the Today view on the side and you have to scroll through the side pane to access all widgets. A perfect world for me is a home screen with just widgets scattered throughout.
Got a tip for us?

iPadOS Widgets on Home

Currently it doesn't. They are still in their dedicated space which you can choose to lock on screen or not. They can't be co-mingled with apps.
I think they showed this during the presentation. However, I was multi-tasking at the time and I'm 100% sure that what was being shown.
I have the beta running and I can only see the widgets on the left side just like the today view in iOS 13. I can't move them over to where all the app icons are. I hope this is a beta 1 limitation. Especially since on the iPhone they can be integrated with the app icons.
Thanks for confirming. But damn this was the only feature I wanted out of all WWDC. Here’s to hoping it’s a beta 1 limitation too. Sucks iOS is getting the feature and not iPadOS
I’m pretty sure it’s a beta 1 bug since Apple stated that it would work the same on iPhone and iPad.Thanks for confirming. But damn this was the only feature I wanted out of all WWDC. Here’s to hoping it’s a beta 1 limitation too. Sucks iOS is getting the feature and not iPadOS
Doesn’t look like this will be addressed in any of the betas. Here’s to hoping PadOS 14.1 supports widgets on iPads beyond just the itsy bitsy today view side panel 😬
