Post your iOS 14 home screen layout

Yeah, I’ve been obsessing over mine for the last 30 minutes! I’m so psycho about this stuff!

How do you get the precipitation to show on the weather widget?

Only appears if there’s rain forecast within the next hour

This thread is funny. A bunch of OCD geeks like myself who in reality, won't actually pay much attention to the friggin widgets, but getting them to look cool is important to us, lol.

I still cannot believe that we still can only put 4 apps in the dock---They should at least let the user put however many they want!!

There's only so much room there... what happens when you have more icons than physical room on the dock?

It would be nice to have a scrollable dock like on the iPad.

I hope developers make more widgets for the home screen, so that I could have just a page with work related widgets/apps including email

I agree. I'm really annoyed that my firm won't let us bring our exchange email/calendar into the apple apps, we need to use the Outlook app. I really like the calendar widget but it would only show my personal stuff.

You should be able to remove them and have them only in the App Library. That’s what I have on my iPhone now.

As a workaround you can move them to a separate page and then hide the entire page

I was able to figure out a way. Initially when I selected the apps to “remove” it didn’t give me an option to move to app library. But I put them in a folder and when I removed the folder they’re now off the main screen and only in the app library. 😎

Here's mine:

Only one page with all the essential apps. I like my app order as default as possible.

Mine. Initially I had all the icons on the front page were in the first dock group (the first time I’ve done that), but they are the things I use most. It’s annoying that I can’t get remove the Watch app to the AD, so it’s hidden away in one of the other folders. Some of the widgets aren’t refreshing in real time, like the activity one, and the music one isn’t showing me more recent listens. But they’ll fix that and it’s only Beta 1.

I really wish you could have a 1x2 widget. The 2x2 take up a lot of space. The weather widget takes up a lot of dead space.

I hope eventually they make them dynamic and/or resizable. Only have the phone and smart battery case, and the smallest with %s is 4 wide. The last 2 slots are useless.

 

[Apple_Robert]

Apple should allow the widgets to blend in with the stock background.

I'm still tweaking mines...

 

[TiagoPacheco]

For now

 

[AppleInLVX]

As the title says...

Here's mine! Loving the Widgets so far, such a welcome addition.

Also to note, I have actually removed all app icons from my home screen apart from the dock. I have instead decided to use the Siri suggestions widget so it dynamically changes based on the apps I use.

I cannot wait for this. Looks like what I've been hoping for forever without even knowing it. I have been such a home page fiddler in my time. I hope this'll help alleviate some of that.

curious are you all on your primary phone or a backup device?

Primary and secondary.

Simple yet satisfying. I had a Reminders widget but I don't like the fact that you can't check something off from the widget and are required to open the app. Hopefully this will change at some point.

Off topic, it's insane how many people around here have OCD.

This was my fear.. Aren't the widgets interactive? So they just show information and if you click it opens the app? It's kind of useless that way.

 

[Peter K.]

Primary and secondary.

Yep, I’ve done both now too. I did my backup phone first, but I couldn’t resist and have since done my primary phone and my iPad.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I have been thinking about the battery widget some more. Having the battery widget display the phone status is redundant. The battery widget on the phone should offer the user which Apple account synced battery devices to display individually or collectively.

On my phone, I want to see the watch battery status because the device is active on my wrist. I don’t need to see phone status displayed, when the phone is already showing the status. I also don’t need to see empty widget slots for my AirPods Pro’s and my Powerbeats Pro, if they are not actively being used. That causes the widget to take up more space then it really should.

I never understand why people put the camera app on their home screen. You can access it from the lock screen or a swipe from the control center. To each their own I guess.

Since I have no use for App Library, I pretty much left it as it is and only removed apps I barely ever used from the home screen itself to make room for some widgets

organized folders on my own for the win

God that weather widget takes up so much space. It could easily fit in a 1x2. Which person at Apple said no to the 1x2 widget size and what the hell was the rationale?

I’m really enjoying iOS 14. The beta is surprisingly stable.

But:

1) Why can’t we have just an Up Next widget? I have to have a huge Calendar widget to get that functionality.

2) Why is there so much wasted space in the huge Calendar app? Why wouldn’t it show me my other future events instead of just having that massive blank area at the bottom?

3) Widgets should be transparent like folders. That pure black is jarring.

The lock screen wouldn't really apply as easily when the device is already unlocked. And although Control Center is generally fairly easily accessible (and is mostly the way I access the Camera app too) it's not really the case for everyone as some don't really use Control Center at all while some have a harder time getting it to come up (either from sliding up or reaching up on top to slide it down).

Hope developers can add translucent backgrounds to widgets, looks really bad when blocking out so much of the wallpaper..

What's the reason for having two mail clients on the home screen?
