Widgets on iphone, restricted to where I can place them, not free form like on Android...

I guess you just can't put a widget wherever you like on my new iPhone as in drag and drop anywhere on screen, correct? I have a lock screen and want to put text in a certain place on photo so it does not block out face. So I assume I will have to just edit the photo wallpaper and add the text where I want, save photo and then use the altered photo. Is this correct?

The "Any Tex"t widget did not allow me to put their widgets any where on lock screen. It had a fixed place and size.

Thanks for confirmation or advice.

Sincerely

Peter

Thanks I hated my assumption being in the ballpark, along with a few other assumptions. But I was given this phone from a relative and my wife got one as well. So I have some Google Calendar issues as well. I posted these. Samsung phone gave me notifications even if I did not set a time notification (ie: No notification) before event. Just popped up on screen--this was good for Reminders or "Take out trash", "someones birthday, etc".... I just used the Events section-was easier. But on iPhone I think you get NO notification unless you set a notification x minutes before, even if 1 minute... Take care, Peter

If you want a reminder use the Reminders app instead of the calendar. If you assign a time to a reminder it will appear on the Notification screen and also the lock screen (if you enable notifications on the lock screen). If you have an Apple Watch it will also remind you on the watch.
