Widgetsmith app not working

I'm going to straight up assume that you're from tiktok. This is apple support communities, We don't deal with individual Apps issues that don't have direct connections with Apple software services such as iCloud, etc.

Note: this is a volunteer run community. You are not in direct contact with Apple.

You could try restarting your phone Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

But your best bet at fixing this would be to contact the App developer him/herself.

Anyone else that has a solution, feel free to speak here.

I deleted the app widgetsmith because it was not working. And when I went to go see if I could put in a photo widget (after I re downloaded it) it would let me put the widgets in but i couldn’t see them. They just went blank. So please tell me how i can maybe fix that.

The post makes no sense. Unless it meant the public BETA update. To check for that go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom. Look just below VPN. If you have an entry for Profiles tap on it, then tap on the beta profile and delete it. Then restore your phone with iTunes—>Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support and restore your backup.

If there is no Profiles entry you don’t have any beta versions.

Hold on your device until the edit thing come up

Then click on the Widget, flipping it to show this:

Then click on whatever pops up for you, then it should show something similar to this:

When you get to this, you’re basically done, just click on which one you want from Widgetsmith. I clicked Large #1, then the gray widget for you should show the picture

I know I posted this before, but it’s my first time and I posted it on the wrong one.

i got the widgetsmith app and everything worked fine when i was make the widgets and pasting it on my home screen. i did exactly everything i had to do to make the widgets from my photos and paste it on my home screen. but after like 2 or 3 i made when make another widget and paste it on my home screen the widget just turns blank how do i fix it?

Same with Color Widget, which I’m definitely thinking is a bug because I added a background picture to my Color Widget instead of having one of the default options (picture should be added). My mom doesn’t have a background picture for hers and the time seems to update perfectly fine, but whenever I notice the time is off on my widget, I have to manually go into the app and save the widget again to update the time. Kinda annoying :/

Building up on Jlintriestohelp's answer, what also worked for me was to delete the Widgetsmith widget and add it back again based on the steps laid out here.

It's also worth noting that the widget should be created in the Widgetsmith app first before you add it into your homescreen, otherwise for some reason it doesn't work. :(

Hopefully that helps. Let me know if it still doesn't work and I will try my best to help. Thanks!

Hold onto the widget for a few seconds, and edit widget and then select the widget that you made.

But it is on your product causing other people’s phones to not work and crash. instead of assuming people are coming here from tiktok might actually be coming here because there is no support contact for widget smith and need help(:

Hello! We see your having some problems. The widget smith app Is a very limited app. If the app does not open try to delete it by going to Swipe to the right on your device's Lock or Home screen > tap Edit at the bottom of the screen > find the widget that you want to remove. Instead of a '+' icon, you will now see a red '-' icon. Tap that icon to remove the widget and then tap Done.Jun 29, 2016

The app developer has to create apps that are working with Apple devices, Apple is not responsible for any app that decides to fail. The developer of the app is Cross Forward Consulting, LLC and they can be contacted at - http://www.crossforward.com/contact-us/. Like I said, feel free to comment here. There's just no experts on this topic in the community.

Hi, I am facing similar issue. I do not know how to fix it, if anyone here has the answers that would be amazing. I am trying to personalize my widgets on iOS14, some of my friends recommended me to use Widget smith but when I try to pull up the app, just does not show the app, it seems like the app just stop running. I tried restarting my iPhone, then uninstalling the app, restarting and then installing it once again, but it does not work either.

If someone is able to help me that would be great!

FYI I am not English Native Speaker if I have mistakes with my grammar my apologies I am just trying to get some help we do not have a lot of support from Apple to Latin America Countries.

I spent 20 minutes getting frustrated with this before I realized after all the adjustments are done you need to back out of the edit screen and there’s a save button on the top right that actually (DUH) saves the customization and automatically adjusts it on your Home Screen.

I also had problems with the Photos widget from Widgetsmith. I managed to fix by creating a 'New Album' in Photos that I labeled Widgetsmith. I added a single photo in it and it now works.

P.S: Photos won't work if you accidentally add an album with videos only.

I found these troubleshooting tips here. Hope this helps!
