Calculator is missing in the Control Center on iPad pro

Geez, I did not mean to offend you. I have seen a bunch of your posts here and I think you are doing a great job of helping. I was just trying to clear things up a little bit, not trying to rub your nose in it. If I wronged you, I apologize.

I didn’t mean to take the discussion OT either, but I did, My apologies to the OP and to you as well.

And by the way, I was reinforcing what you were saying about a widget being available for that calculator app.

Yeah,

I will have to agree with Demo.

For the short time you have been here helping out here with other users' iPad issues, you have been doing a pretty bang up job of it!

I am just very nitpicky as I can possibly be about giving accurate details to any user that comes here looking for answers/solutions.

Have always been like that here from day one.

AND, sometimes, I am usually fairly blunt about it and that usually, for me, ends up leading to varying levels of disagreements and arguments.

So, I will apologise, somewhat, as we are all fellow users that come here fairly regularly to help out our fellow users, in distress, here in the ASC, and that is a good thing for all of us here to be doing!

I just always feel the need to be more accurate and elucidate more on a giving issue or problem when I post replies here.

A somewhat failing/character flaw on my part, I suppose, but I usually mean well.

Most times, as wife is always keenly pointing out to me and everyone else we meet, “my bark is always worse than my bite”

😉😁

No! I didn’t mean you! Oh, gosh. No. I was thanking you for mentioning it, and agreeing with you. After that, I was just offering an explanation. (PS Not sure what OT or OP means..)

I do thank you for your comments about my doing a great job — I’m trying! — as well of reinforcing my hopeful comments about using a Widget!

OT = Off topic

OP = Original poster (the person who started the thread)

There you go, xi1008! And thank you...

I, too, had mine in the task bar ‘till I found too many other things I wanted to put there which cluttered it up. So long as you know a Widget is an option — and you’ve got it in your task bar, now — you’re all set! That’s wonderful... Perhaps, as you go along, you’ll investigate and find some Widgets, in one way or another, to be helpful.

We’re an Apple Support Community team, but we’re volunteers, who don’t know one another, possibly, all that well yet. And we’re all coming from a position of wanting to be helpful. And we each have different gifts! But we all want to help! Only, there are forum rules, too. So, so sorry you got involved in the flutter of all of this.

As you learn more, possibly, you’ll be contributing suggestions, too — if you subscribe to the feed — for others who are just learning, as yourself. I’m still a newbie, too, and I’m amazed that there are opportunities, here or there, to help in small ways...

I am not looking for, nor need a calculator widget in my notifications panel.

I can get to my calculator apps fairly quickly and all of my calculator apps use a tape roll that will always keep my calculation/tabulation data until I manually clear the numeric tape roll.

The widgets I use in my notifications panel, cover quicker access to my camera/video apps, weather apps, calendars, news apps, recipes apps and music related apps.

Hi, MichelPM,

I don’t think I understand. I use my Calculator widget all the time:

Daisey's screen shot is IOS 12 something. The widgets list can be found at the bottom of Siri app Suggestions..

I checked my iPad 4 and Widgets were available at least from IOS 10. Memory fails me if they were available earlier.

Not with the mouse cursor circle showing it isn’t? Is it?

Thank you, bobseufert!

Apple must be using that same symbol then for the iPadOS mouse cursor, then, because that is exactly what it looks like.

Glad all of this ended up working out for you!

And thank you! 😃

HI, xi1008,

I think the key word in your question on calculator access may be ‘quick’. While it’s not in the Control Panel, did you know you can quickly access Apple’s Calculator with a Widget?

Here’s both written and video instructions:

Use widgets: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207122

Soon, with iOS13, when the widgets will be right on your home screen, they’ll be even more accessible...

Hope this is helpful!

Linda
