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

Holy crap, I finally figured out a way to stack them with ease but it's hard to explain. I'll try my best

1) Open 2 large widgets in adjacent pages.

2) Pull Widget#1 into the iPhone dock (bottom bar).

3) Move Widget#1 (where your finger is pressed) slightly above the bar, then back down again so it stops on the page with Widget#2 on it.

4) Using a different finger, move Widget#2 slightly to the side, (enough to displace it but not enough for it to go onto the next page) while holding Widget#1 in the bar.

5) Move Widget#1 up right on top of Widget#2 while holding Widget#2 slightly to the side (because you're holding Widget #2 as well, you can overlap them without them jumping away).

6) Release Widget#2 then Widget#1 immediately after.

7) They should stack.

Hope this helped!!
