I'm wondering how to add a widget for the built-in health app to my homescreen, to be able to immediately see my walking distance or steps taken. It doesn't seem to exist (yet), or am I missing something? I'm not really interested in installing a 3rd party app if I don't have to; the built-in one works good enough for me - I'd just like a widget for it. Any ideas?..

Hi,
I don't think you can have a widget for the built-in app health.

That would be a pity! I see in the thread you linked it wasn't possible back in '17, but I'd hoped it might be possible now in iOS 14, now that the widgets have become more important. But if there were reasons for Apple not to do it back then, those may still hold :-(
Try Hidgets
Thanks! Looks promising indeed. I was hoping not to have to install any third-party apps since iOS should, in my view, allow you to do this. But if Apple decides otherwise...
Unfortunately Apple give us a great device but yours interface do not exist or is too poor!
Yes. I've decided to go with 'Steps Widget' for now.
Hold your finger in an empty part of the screen. You will go to the move icons mode. A plus sign will appear on the top left corner. You can add the widget from there.
That doesn't work - it was the first thing I tried of course, but there's no Health Widget to add. Steps Widget does the trick for me, though.
