Favorite Contacts widget disappeared in iOS 14

I’ve just updated my phone to iOS14 and could not find the option to use the favorite contacts anywhere. Please bring back the Favorite Contacts widget and the option to choose favorite contacts with haptic touch/3D touch in the phone apps. I believe people are using that function a lot. Thank you

That ugly thing is abolutely NOT what i want. I want my contacts with pictures and when i press it makes a direct call. Absolutely nothing else. Taking away the most used thing i a PHONE is so rediculous it hurts.

So try this third party version:

It seems to look almost exactly the same as the old Apple Widget. And, for the princely sum of $1.99, you get a couple of additional little features and support the developer.


Note: you can only use it from the Today screen. You can't put it on your Home page.

Hello fiend, is there something new about this bug? Apple has no answer. I ve tryed everything from deleting and adding again favorites. Reseting phone, restarting phone. After all that i contacted apple support chat. They know same things to do.. On the contrary I was helping over there on answers🙂 i was very good and easy function. Please apple fix it to make update. Do not forget. Or if there is something knew tell me friends. Thanks in advance.

The widget is gone. No amount of restarting your phone will bring it back. Submit your feedback to Apple.

Might as well go shopping today, there’s no point in waiting. There is no bug; 3D touch has been replaced by long touch. It will never be “fixed” because it isn’t broken. You should always buy the product that best meets your needs. It’s just users in this forum; no one here cares what you buy. Be sure to get a good antivirus with your new Samsung.

You should always choose the tool that best meets your needs. Personally, I'd recommend Motorola phones over Samsung. They may not be as popular but they have much less bloatware than Samsung phones. And, to the best of my knowledge, no history of blowing up.
