Ultimate iOS 16 Home Screen Widget - TUTORIAL

[@ThisIsE]

Thank you for watching and enjoying the video people ❤️ One thing I forgot to stress out in the video is that you should always keep the transparent background layer at the very bottom of the layer panel. Otherwise it will hide all the other layers.

[@OneStopShopGarage]

Does the custom widget have to show the name of the app “Widgy” at the bottom or is there a way to remove it?

[@chrismiranda5648]

Just purchased for my 14 Pro Max! Took me a couple hours 😅 but made sure everything was perfect! Finished product looks awesome man, keep these up!

[@ThisIsE]

Thanks Chris and congrats!

[@gregr209]

This was one of the most useful tutorials I have seen on KZbin lately. They mystery of Widgy was lifted for me and I thank you for that!

[@randykirstuk8978]

I would like to purchase the completed version. I can still make changes after ?

[@jamessakellatis]

Hi, I purchased the complete pack but my widget and background don’t line up. Not sure how to fix it. Thanks

[@pihli.p_d]

I just bought this one, and thank you for the tutorial. This really looks amazing!

[@ThisIsE]

Glad you like it!

[@youngremy1133]

If I purchase the setup can I change the wall screen to my own photos?

[@Huseyin224]

Hi, i am trying your setup with another background and icons etc.... I have added an transparant background. Bu after I added an new img for the app icon, I cannot see it. What is going wrong?

[@r.j.burgess924]

Same issue. Icons don’t show in Widgy app or on Home Screen.

[@FNJ720]

I keep saying that I’m going to make my Home Screen fancy and new, different. One month later, still haven’t done it.🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@ThisIsE]

GO FOR IT! Prepare for the holidays with something fresh 🙂

[@terrencebibbphoto]

Hello I purchased the download. Q: does the Widgy app open every time you use one of the pre made items?

[@ThisIsE]

It goes through Widgy to open the predefined apps. Much quicker than Shortcuts.

[@chrizzestickthrower3753]

thanks. very inspiring what u can do with widgy. one question: tap action that triggers a shortcut opens the widgy app and the shortcuts app? is this correct? it’s a little bit annoying…

[@stevensickles2872]

I made the shortcut to be able to use the camera icon. Do you know how to fix the shortcut so it doesn’t go to shortcuts before opening the camera app?

[@ThisIsE]

I wish I knew a way 🙂

[@chrismiranda5648]

So do you change the temp symbol throughout the day or does it change on its own with the temp??

[@ThisIsE]

It changes on its own. It does have some minor discrepancies, but it's relatively close to what the weather app shows.

[@chrismiranda5648]

@@ThisIsEhow do you get it to change on its own? I followed your instructions in going into Apple SF symbol and picking the appropriate one but mine just stays on the symbol picked.

[@syesepoh]

I tried and as ever I failed lol! Widgy has now been updated so your tutorial didn't quite match up with importing etc. Anyway, I got everything set up but the wallpaper and widget do not line up together so it looks like two hills on the screen haha!!! Where did I go wrong?

[@sarahgx4589]

okaaaay , catchy music , short intro , straight to the point ... im subscribing

[@TransplantHelper]

It took me a while to catch on but WOW! Basically layering text or images then adding T action. Thank you so much

[@ivanotti89]

Ho. How to Switch from focus (Life) to focus (home) With Just The touch on icon? Thank you

[@albertosantos6481]

just purchased the NAMIB complete widget package and I could not follow your instructions. Hope I can get assistance for the $8.95 purchase.

[@ThisIsE]

Hi Alberto, I just tested the widget and everything seems to be working fine. Feel free to send me a DM on Twitter or IG so I can assist you further.

[@albertosantos6481]

believe the disconnect is your video tutorial which jumps into the widget app without explaining that we have to go into the wall paper function on the iphone first to set up the Home screen and Lock screen. Still, I managed to figure it out but the action bar does not have any text like Home, New Task… etc

[@salsenan1]

Every time I change wallpaper I have edit the widget? And how do I fix if I added the wrong image? I accidentally added the wrong image with the calendar widget and now it does not look right, can you help?

[@simplySumne]

I am following this good but I am not sure how you got rid of the horizontal line inbetween the day and date. Can you please explain ?

[@ThisIsE]

Change it's color or reduce it's thickness.

[@simplySumne]

@@ThisIsE cool

[@sumithreddyoruganti6581]

Hey E I love your video’s Well how do you deal with Widgy opening every time you use its widget for tap action ,etc.

[@moonstripeenterprises1851]

unable to open the link for the "Namib desert" purchase sent to me by email , iphone says link is invalid ??

[@ThisIsE]

Hey, sorry to hear that. Can you DM me your purchase order on Twitter and I'll help you out.

[@bvreagan13]

Great tutorial I was able to create my own widget similar to yours. The only question I had was the temperature is roughly 2-5 degrees different than my weather app. I double checked my settings using my location and that didn’t help. Any thoughts?

[@ianburston]

Thank you E. It is appreciated by many of us that didn't quiet get it from the previous tutorial.

[@ThisIsE]

Glad it was helpful this time. I also posted an installation video.

[@lyubomirboradzhiev7881]

Добра работа Искрен, можеби най-добрият ютюбър от БГ произход, който съм гледал. !!! Keep up the good work

Много благодаря!

[@kingz5682]

The Widgy app is not available in the UK 😔, just checked it’s now available in the UK 😅😊

[@ThisIsE]

Hahah

[@ireaperv3]

It’s not working. The first image of my homepage with the transparent background covers everything else. It’s the frontmost layer and eveything else I put is hidden behind it. How do I fix it?

[@ejelstad]

Superb as always. Question for the masses, or E if he finds a moment. Purchased one of the DIY widget dealios. The instructions said to upload the .widgy file. I don’t have a .widgy file. Am I missing something?

[@ThisIsE]

If you paid $4 then you are probably missing the file since it’s a DIY pack. Feel free to DM me on Twitter or IG for help.

[@ejelstad]

@@ThisIsE Makes sense. I appreciate it, I should be good to go. Thank you 🤘🏻

[@kishanjithB4U]

Waiting for more of this kind of episodes

[@ThisIsE]

It's coming today 🙂

[@randykirstuk8978]

Will this work with IOS 17.0.3 ?

[@tomjanka8645]

When attempting this design I click Widgy high quality background (transparent) and it keeps pulling the image I select when making a previous widget. I am new to this app and any assistance that could be given is appreciated.

[@ThisIsE]

You need to change the transparent image from the Manage tab

[@tomjanka8645]

@@ThisIsE Thank you. Also, thanks for the AWESOME videos.

[@shatterdgameplay1013]

I bought it this morning and Widgy won’t let me import, please advise

[@shatterdgameplay1013]

It shows gray and can’t tap on it. Maybe if I had a QR code

[@ThisIsE]

Send me a DM on Twitter and I'll try to help you!

[@max5250]

This is great tutorial, but it would be nice if you could place a camera closer to the iPhone, since there are loads of useless area on the screen, while letters and elements on the iPhone screen are to tiny to read even on a laptop, let alone on a smartphone.

[@DjangoGroen]

I have 1 problem with the app. I have multiple focus modes. Which has a different background on each focus. But on the app I can only select 1 background.

[@snehabendre1973]

Hi E, I have purchased DIY pack and I am able to make the widget same like yours and it looks fabulous 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for best tutorial video. Could u please share size and position dimensions of dune overlay portion?

[@nemofish9685]

hi i purchased the widget, however everytime i go to place it on the home screen its just a black box Help please

[@MrWonderbread1984]

Is there any way to stop Widgy from redirecting to the shortcuts app when using a shortcut to open an app?

[@jamescullen6035]

Try reduce motion

[@DavidandtheQueen]

YOU DELIVERED ! Thanks a lot. The only thing is that "widgy' mention at the bottom of the widget (+ and the notification when using shortcuts), but that is Apple thing

[@ThisIsE]

I wish the Widgy name was not there too!

[@vitorcampos2314]

Do I need to buy Widgy for this? I really want to buy the wallpaper pack but not the app haha

Does anyone know how to accurately have your weather update mine doesn’t seem to update to current temperature?

[@chrismiranda5648]

im trying to figure out the same thing...the weather symbol doesn't change for me according to the temp (which he says is supposed to happen) :/

Hi E, do you have any update on the bug with Widgy not supporting iphone 14 Pro screen resolution? Great new widget by the way! But I still haven't managed to make it work the first one that you designed! :D

[@ThisIsE]

Hi Emre, I saw there was a recent update. Didn’t that fix the issue? Did you try deleting the app and installing it again? Unfortunately I still don’t have access to iPhone 14 to test and confirm

[@emreturkeli]

@@ThisIsE checked it now.. yes! It's fixed! I bought your initial design the day I watched your initial video, but now that I'm looking at it, I liked the second one even better! Is there a discount code for returning customers? 🤣

Once you install it, you have to assign a spot for it in Widgy and then place that spot as a widget on the Home Screen
