Why can't we put widgets on the home screen like on the iPhone?

With iOS 14 for iPhone, we can put widgets anywhere on the home screen. Why can't we do the same with iOS 14 for iPad?

iPad, iPadOS 14

Many features are exclusive to either iPhone (such as the feature that you describe) or to iPad. iOS (iPhone) and iPadOS (iPad) have different but related feature sets.


The best way to discover the supported features of both iPhone and iPad are the respective User Guides - these rich resources are often overlooked:

Apple - Support - Manuals


Apple do invite constructive feedback, comments and feature requests via their product feedback portal:
