Missing 3rd-party widgets

[theriddler]

Apps that come with widgets don’t show up in the Add Widgets screen. Tried opening the app, adding to Home Screen, reinstalling, changing system language, resetting as suggested in articles.

I have updated to beta iOS 15.6 and it makes no difference.

In particular, I’m looking for a calculator widget. Is there one that has a working widget in iOS 15?

I'm going to assume that since it's a calculator widget that it's an old style widget. The new style widgets don't support interactivity.

To add an old style widget you have to go into wiggle mode and then scroll to the bottom of your widget page (the leftmost page on the Home Screen) and press Customize. You can't add these widgets to the actual Home Screen.

Amazing! Thanks for the explanation. Didn’t know there was a difference between interactive widgets.
