ISSUE WITH STACKING LARGE WIDGETS (iOS 14)

Am I the only one chasing down widgets to stack them? The large news widget is the one I try to stack with more large news widgets, but when I try to do this the large widget I want to stack Speedy Gonzalez’s it’s way to a billion new blank pages instead of recognizing that no I do not want a ton of blank pages created, I want to stack you. So there am playing hide and seek with my iPhone thinking about the days when iOS wasn’t so emotional. iOS developers, please know that no one’s goal is to open up multiple blank pages ever. Please fix this issue. I just want to stack my **** widgets. And if possible I would LOOoooOooVe to have more control over how long I want a news widget to show its topic before switching to a new topic.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

I had this problem too, and I just figured out how to make it work! You just have to use two fingers. Once you have the two large widgets, move the first large widget over to the other page the second widget is on and press a finger to the second widget before it can Speedy Gonzalez away! Then you should be able to stack them.

1) Let us assume you already have 1 large widget on the screen [old widget]


2) You created a new large widget on a blank screen [new widget]


3) Touch and hold the new widget until you can drag it (u must not release it until we finish the full following steps)


4) Use another hand to swipe to the screen where you have the old widget


5) Touch and hold the old widget


6) Slowly overlay the new widget to that (remember - you have been holding this for a while and you will release it only in this step)


Hope it will clarify your issue.


If not I will post a video ;)
