Long pressing shows customize then there's only an option to change wallpaper. Are actual widgets on the lock screeen available to install on the ipad pro only or?

That's what wasn't working, but got it working eventually. First had to select customize, add wallpaper and it wasn't until after trying trying roughly five wallpapers that one showed the option to add widgets. Prior to that, there were also error messages about widgets.
