Greetings JacksonAction,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you are trying to add widgets to the Home Screen on the iPad. We would recommend you use this article for more information.


"Open Today View

Swipe right from the left edge of the Home Screen or the Lock Screen.


Keep Today View widgets on your Home Screen

You can keep Today View widgets on your Home Screen next to your apps when iPad is in landscape orientation.

  1. With iPad in landscape orientation, open Today View, then touch and hold the Home Screen background until the apps jiggle.
  2. Turn on Keep On Home Screen, then tap Done.

Tip: A widget called a Smart Stack (one that has dots next to it) is a set of several widgets that uses information such as the time, your location, and activity to display the most relevant widget at the appropriate time in your day. You can swipe through a Smart Stack to see the widgets it contains."
