Where is the “Up Next” widget in iOS 14?

What happened to the “Up Next” widget in iOS 14?!

This widget was utilized to see your next alarm and whatever calendar event or reminder was up next, regardless of how many days the reminder was scheduled in the future.

iPhone 8

are you saying, there’s no way to have this with the new update !?

Yes, that's what people have been saying in the previous 9 pages.


You may want to look at third party widget apps to see if there's one that can replace some or all of the features. Also, third party calendar apps may have widgets that work better for you.


You can also let Apple know your thoughts here:

Please bring this fuction back.


It has changed my way of life because I would panic when I don't know whether I turned on my alarms or not. I dont have the same schedule everyday, week or month and different projects for work so this was a very crutial application needed for me to function. I wake up mid-sleep just to make sure I didn't forget to turn on my alarm. I have been searching around for apps that can deliver the same task, but it is not the same.

You must not have ADD.... I check and recheck and I have no less than 10 alarms set to remind me of things like getting my kids off the bus, my son has alarms set for the start of each one of his remote classes. It’s not easy being one missed alarm away from disaster.

  • This has been a behind the scenes look at someone with ADD trying to seem like they have **** together to the neurotypical world. 😁

Clearly this is an unsuitable solution to someone who wants the visual reminder... part of why people relied on UP NEXT was to eliminate other types of “checking” that takes multiple steps to check, and you couldn’t easier refer back to.


Using Siri to check your alarm is great if you are about to go to bed, but any other time doesn’t really solve the problem.

Not true, Siri is a idiot. Always before bad when I’m asking a Siri on my iPhone about the alarms, the HomePod always responding.


“You don’t have any alarm”


Yes I have, at least 5 morning alarms on my iPhone and some for the weekends.


so I have to turn off the HomePod, turn Off the iPad, turn off the AppleWatch just for asking a Siri on my iPhone about my next alarm?


Ffs Apple bring back the widget, all the rest are completely useless imo.
