You can always send feedback to suggest that they remove the function entirely since you can see the clock just fine as it is and don't find the widget to be useful.
I do agree with @TonyC28 that you should have the option to disable the small clock if you are using the widget (or even if not and you just want to remove it)
I am visually impaired and cannot read the digital clock at the top. will you accept me appreciating the larger clock widget?
I just want access to the clock from my homescreen. I used to have the app there in a folder together with calendar, notes and reminders. Now I replaced that folder with a smart widget stack. It looks neater and it works better as well. Most of the time the smart stack shows the right widget at the right time, which saves me a tab.
The clock icon always had a live analog clock as well. So in that sense it always was redundant, it's just a bit more apparent now.
Looks terrible IMO would have been slightly better if icons wrapped from the bottom with a gap at the top, as it is it is just further to reach up.
Lazy implementation and lacks the attention to detail that we have come to expect from Apple.
Whats the music widget actually showing? I cant seem to get it to change from what its showing which isnt something i even use. The only reason its there is because i have Apple Music attached to my Echo device and my wife tried to get it to play something for my daughter which Apple Music picked the wrong thing and throughout beta 4 to 6 the music widget has never shown anything else.
It’s always shown my recently played...I think...and let’s me pick on which playlist/album I want from that. I really like it for that, but most of the time I use CarPlay or Apple Music online, so I'm not sure I’ll keep it as a widget as I only seem to listen on my phone when I’m cutting the lawn.
Maybe when I’m back to traveling a lot more.

Several posts in the DP6 thread suggest that it is not possible, at least in the DP6 build.
I found that it only updates if you play music and playlists available through Apple Music, not including local files or personal stuff you uploaded to iCloud Music. I wish it worked like the Control Center, where it shows what you play from any source. I also think tapping the icon in the upper right should open Now Playing in whatever app is playing or was last used. This functionality is one of the few things I miss about Android.
That would make sense as I generally listen to playlists I’ve compiled although they do consist of music through Apple Music.
I hope it’s a bug!! Apple cannot be serious about controlling the whole damn experience.
I tried that and the watch and fitness app won’t delete from the home screen. I tried rebooting the phone. How did you get them to delete? They are already in the app library.
You can have one of the 2 x 2 squares showing one shortcut, a 4 x 2 showing 4 shortcuts or a 4 x 4 widget showing 8 shortcuts.
Yeah, there's no 1x1 widget (you need to create a shortcut icon on the homescreen to do that). Every shortcut takes up 2x1 icon spaces within a widget. Pity.
Decided to try something totally new and throw my OCD about having some semblance of the factory default layout out the window. Smart Stack on top with Weather, Batteries, Music, Apple TV, and Podcasts. Siri App Suggestions on the bottom. Still just using a single page and leaving the rest to my App Library.

Trying to decide if I love or hate this. I think it's the former....where's the wallpaper from, if I might ask?
