ISSUE WITH STACKING LARGE WIDGETS (iOS 14)

This is exact thing JUST happened to me and now I want to sob in my 10 pages of ungrouped apps.

OMG! This worked! Thank you so much!

I’m now also putting large collections of my most important apps in folders in the bar at the bottom of the screen. The apps there seem safe. Haven’t lost any of those so far.

I do not understand those instructions. Would you be able to record a video of what you’re saying? Like a screen record?

;)

We all know this. The issue is with stacking the largest widget. It’s frustrating

Thank you!!

@danielzzz04 you’re my hero! Took several tries but I got it! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

omg it works!!! Thank you so much

Appreciate the info. It’s also posted above. Now that I’ve been doing this, I’d say it works about 50% of the time. Very frustrating!

So glad I found your advice. It took some practice, but I got the large widgets to stack. Thank you.

To me the solution would be to add a feature that allows us to add widgets when editing a stack instead of just allowing us to move around the order of the widgets in a stack.

Daniel you are a hero!!!

We understand how to stack widgets of the same size. But the process does not work properly.

Adding files widget or 3rd party’s sometimes give blank widgets. Moving stacks to a page sometimes kills an app group and make the apps spread all over the page.

There are faults in the design, a typical post-Jobs phenomena.

Here's what I do to avoid large widgets blowing out your folders/apps:

Creating large widgets:

If you have not yet created your large widget, do so in the leftmost widget page-- you know, that page that had the original widgets before we could create and move them onto the home screen. Then move your large widget to your desired homescreen page. The "widget" page seems to prevent the blowout.

If/when you need to put all your blown-out apps back into folders:

Move your large widget(s) to the leftmost widget page-- you know, that page that had the original widgets before we could create and move them onto the home screen. Then fix all folders and apps. Then move the large widget to the desired homescreen page. (It looks like moving apps and folders around your large widget if it's on a homescreen page just blows everything out again, but moving the large widget afterwards doesn't.)

If you need to tinker around with an already-created large widget:

If you should decide to tinker around with your large widget, first move it to the leftmost "original widget page" and tinker around with it. Then when you're done, move it back to your desired homepage. It looks like if you tinker with your large app while it's in one of your homescreen pages, you're likely to blow out your folders and its contents.

At least this is what my experience tells me.
