Post your iOS 14 home screen layout

[LarryJoe33]

I agree with you. I think most people I know who just have apps populate on the screens when they install them (with zero effort at organizing) would benefit if they are given an option upon installing the update to remove all apps from the pages and instead, just organize them into the library. I think they should also have the library automatically be the main page if all other apps are removed.

What I see most people doing here (from the screenshots I've seen) is that they have a few widgets, a handful of frequently used apps, and then the library. For those of us with a ton of apps, I've found its super easy to just swipe down to search for an app instead of going into a folder and swiping a few times to get to it. Once more widgets are available on the main screens, this would also be a quick way to access frequently used apps.

Completely agree. We are on the same exact page.

I hope they are planning to fit another row of apps on the home page for Max users. Plenty of wasted space at the top and bottom.

I saw a video where user was able to put one widget on another and created a stacked widgets, but can you stack two different "piles" of widgets side by side? Let's say weather and news one pile and Calendar and Reminders on the other pile?

Yes, I actually changed my display to not zoom but that didn't free up another row.

I just have trouble convincing myself that it would be worth it to spend four app blocks on the weather when that could mean.... four app blocks??

Personally I don't get the point of widgets on the home screen, besides wasting space and looking flashy. 🤷

Each to their own I guess lol

I love them so far, reason being is it gives me a quick at a glance view of things like the current temperature, battery levels etc..

With third party support coming from launch I should think that these will only get better.

Has anybody tried iOS 14 on the original iPhone SE yet? Curious to see what the home screen widgets look like on such a small display.

Was this what you’re looking for?

Can you create a widget from a third party app?

Third party apps will have to be updated to support the new Widgetkit. Will take until iOS 14 is released in the fall.

Yes you can.

Yeah

Looks alright actually.. nowhere near a cramped as I expected it to look.

Anyway to add Siri suggestions apps to smart stack? The rectangle with suggested apps?

I had trouble with that as well... It seems a little buggy right now. I'm sure it'll get fixed. I'd love that in a smart stack.

Agree. I have a watch for complications. I got over a hundred apps but where they are who knows. I pull down and search for what I need.

 

[PapaLags2]

I literally moved all my apps to the App Library and now my home screen is my favorite widgets!

Yup, I am thinking all I need is a smart stack if it can accept that stack we are talking about. I don't any other need for any other widgets taking up space. Just a nice scroll wheel at the top of the screen.

I don’t. Why?

After much tinkering, I’ve settled on this (for now)

Anybody have a screenshot of the new iOS 14 stock/default homescreen layout, or is that irrelevant now? I have a weird OCD thing where I don't edit the homescreen from the default layout, and my customization starts on page 2, but I guess that is out the window now.
