before the most recent update 14 1 i was able to open my phone and slide the screen once to get to my emergency contact number. now there is all sorts of stuff on that screen INSTEAD of my emergency contact - i NEED to be able to slide the screen ONCE and get to my emergency contact - please help me - i don't need any of that new stuff - i have cognitive issues and all those new widgets just confuse me.

It sounds as if you may be talking about the Favorites widget. That has been removed. You can download a third party app from the App Store that will do pretty much the same thing. Search for "Favorites widget". Or, you can use Siri, e.g. "Call Mom". Or you can use the Favorites tap in the Phone app.


You can also let Apple know you'd like to see that widget returned by submitting feedback:
