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 add options to add widget from lock screen to home screen. Or why it is not possible to set widget lock screen as default ( not needed to swipe left). I am one step to go back to Android.
Apple isn't reading here for suggestions. If you want them to know your thoughts, use the feedback page:
I was freaking out too!
at first I thought I was missing something and that I was just unable to find the right setting.
But as we know now, the feature has been discontinued in IOS 14.
Apple, please give us back the up next widget!
I‘m really missing it!
Up next is still there but only showing on the largest calendar widget. Even on my 8 Plus that takes up over half the screen! It would be great if they could make up next appear regardless of the widget size. I've filled in a feedback form with the 'suggestion'.
If more people could do that maybe they'll take notice. Glad it's not just me who finds that feature important.

The Product Feedback form for iPhone does not have a dropdown selection for iOS 14. It only goes to iOS 13.6.
As long as you properly explain your issue in the text box, the people reading it will understand. I don't even think that's a required field.
Not sure what information you’re trying to relay with your screenshot...
We know what Up Next used to look like, that’s why we’re all here complaining that it’s no longer there in iOS14.
The new Calendar and Reminders widgets are useless.
Please bring it back! It was my quick and effective way to know if I set my alarm correctly. Now I always have to open the app and scroll through all my alarms to make sure the one I want is set properly.

Tell Apple what you'd like to see:
Can you set multiple alarms on certain days on the Sleep | Wake up alarm? Because this homeschooling covid crap literally has me waking up at a different time every flipping day. Also my ADHD requires alarms for medication, feeding the dog, blowing out candles... etc 😂
No! I just tried it and you can only have one schedule. I set mine and then when I changed the time for the 2 days my kid goes to school, it removed those days from my alarm. Sooooo again APPLE bring back what’s up next!!!
Could you create your own Widget Stack to address this? It might be even better than letting Apple choose, because it gives you the choice. https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/create-a-widget-stack/
Yea, i used to verify my different alarms using the Up Next. What i noticed is only when the bedtime activated in ios 14, your lock screen just displayed the next alarm timing. I hope they will bring back the Up Next soon.
Where does it show it? The Sleep/Wake thing is good for sleeping but there are many other reasons for alarms so only something like the Up Next widget will show the next alarm, as well as showing you the next event in your calendar so you can easily see if you missed setting an alarm for something.
This actually works for me. You can also say "Show Alarms" and Siri will show all of your alarms. And you can adjust the on/off slider right on this screen. Until "Up Next" with next alarm returns, I find this a useful replacement. Thanks for the tip!

Glad it works for you swerdnase :) And thanks for the one you found.
I just found another Siri command that shows which alarms are currently turned on, activate Siri by holding down your home/side button (or saying Hey Siri) and say "Alarms on" and it will show them with the slider to turn any of them off.
So now there are 3 Siri commands in relation to alarms which may help people:
Next alarm shows the next alarm
All alarms shows all alarms with the slider to turn each on/off
Alarms on shows all alarms that are turned on, with the slider to turn each off
Where is the “Up Next” widget in iOS 14?
