Using widget smith and making widgets.

hi when i went to make a new widget, it said that there is no widget smith located. meaning when i press the + button in the top corner of my screen, it only lists apps that i have (like spotify,weather,maps, and more), but it doesn’t list widget smith or color widget. How do i fix it so that i can make custom widgets?

Found this online:


To add the Widget on the iOS 14 home screen,

  1. Touch and hold the app icon or empty space on the iPhone home screen.
  2. Tap on the Plus button on the top-left screen.
  3. Search the Widgetsmith.
  4. Tap Add Widget.
  5. Lastly, tap Done on the upper-right screen.


Still, if you can’t find the Widgetsmith App in the list of Widgets, then it might be due to the iOS 14 bug that needs you to open the app first, and then the iPhone will add it under the list of Widgets. So first, launch the Widgetsmith App, and close it. Then, again follow the above steps to add the Widgetsmith on the iPhone home screen.
