[@hel-my-mjk-j4u-hfx]

Ok? The app offers complete customization. If you don't want that, you're in the wrong place. Also, yes it needs access to the data because it needs to display it in the widget. Read the privacy policy

Same here! I downloaded and they ask for too many permissions! It was overwhelming! So I immediately deleted after 😅

You clearly didn’t take 20 seconds to read their privacy policy. They state outright: “Widgy does not collect any user data. Any data that user has permitted in the app is ONLY used to shown that data on the widget of your design.”

[@jamesn7156]

I find it extremely annoying that Apple isn’t still offering light/dark mode wallpapers in ios 16. I don’t customize much on my phone, but this was the thing that I did… Fortunately the ios 15 default wallpaper is still in my wallpaper history, and it still works between light and dark mode, but I’m getting sick of it and it’s my only option for this feature.

[@JackFilms1]

Use the astronomy mode, or weather mode, it will change depending on time of day making an effective dark mode.

[@alessandromanzo522]

You can change it, according to light/dark mode, with shortcut

[@slango7072]

Having the same issue. Trying setting focus to change the wall papers but the widget stays with the transparency. No way to set two and I haven’t figured out a work around yet. Maybe a short cut that’s activated when the focus changes?

Can You Share The Hello Widget Widgy Link? I Search Many Times But Didn't Found Yet.

[@AdventuresPlanned]

This was the most CONFUSING app I have ever downloaded. It’s definitely NOT for your casual iPhone user looking for different widgets to use. There is no way for the average person to figure out or know how to get the widget to you Home Screen or iPhone. It says “Import” where what does that mean and where does it import it at? The average user needs the widget to just have a “save” link and save it to your widgets to use. I deleted this app.

[@MarkSpurrell]

[@busterboy7507]

How are you finding iOS over Android? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

[@ronakbarman3580]

@@busterboy7507 it’s fine if you don’t use apps that are android only

[@Tom_Brennan]

@@busterboy7507 Honestly at this point they are very similar. There are trade-offs to be had on both sides. For instance, I prefer the notification system on Android. I’m still trying to get the hang of it on iOS. On the other hand, almost every app runs better, and looks better on iOS. This is due to developers only having to develop for one phone, the iPhone on the Apple side. For Android, they have to ensure compatibility with every Android phone out there, and in my opinion, we the end-user get a compromised experience, even if it’s on a flagship like the Samsung S22. I thought I would miss having the S-Pen, but I don’t. I got out of the habit of using it to be honest, and I’m happy using Siri to take notes with my voice into the Notes app. Everyone throws around the word ecosystem when it comes to Apple, but there’s no doubt about it, it’s awesome even if you have an Apple TV or an iPad, it’s nice how things just flow together. The latest update to iOS brings a lot of customization, in terms of widgets, which brings me much closer to the experience I was getting on Android. I’m still learning the ropes, but I’m very happy with it so far.

[@Evokyr]

​@@busterboy7507 I also just switched to the 14 pro after having androids for years (and really digging into the system to change almost everything). There are real trade-offs which you must accept, but it also comes with some nice features and a really smooth OS. For me, i really hate the way the iPhone works with photo's and it's photo app, it's a huge mess and really inconvenient compared to android. Also, the fact that the keyboard does not have a number row on top, are just simple things i really miss compared to using my S22/Android. The gestures are nice (which i also used on android), but can be confusing sometimes, as android has a basic back button. With iOS it's really specific which direction to swipe from/to, in order to close or go back a page, which is also impossible if you opened an entire new page. Also keep in mind, when there is a feature you don't like or want to change, the chances are big that it's not possible. Apple really designs their ecosystem to be used by their ways. Overall, it's a clean and great optimised system, the iPhones themselfs feel much more premium and well build over any other phone. But when you want to make the switch, keep in mind you really have to accept the ways how Apple wants you to use the phone, there isn't that much to change to be done, besides some visual customization.

[@abrelats46]
