Today's view widget problems iOS 18.2 on iPad

If your iPad is not operating as expected, begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
3. Press and hold the top button.
4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings

If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assist with troubleshooting:

Update to iPadOS 18.3. Your problem could have been fixed already.

And be sure to update your apps—especially that widget.

Apps should be easy to move within the Today View...

With the Today View exposed, touch-and-hold any empty area of the iPad screen to the right of the Today View; this will enable the editing mode - and all of the widget will "wobble".

While the widgets are wobbling, they can be dragged to the preferred location. New Widgets can be added using the "+" button.

When you have finished repositioning or adding Widgets to the view, simply tap an empty area of the screen - or tap the Done button at the top-right corner of the screen to finish.

Until now it doesnt work
