Re: Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen

2022-10-29 Thread Margaret Thomas

Hi, All:

Thank you all.  I had a couple of misadventures and it was not elegant, 
but I now have only 1 widget all by its lonesome and not in a stack on 
the first page of my home screen.


I couldn't get instructions that I understood would remove individual 
items in a stack without removing the whole stack to work for me.  I 
threw in the towel for now and removed the whole stack and added  the 
widget on the home screen I wanted.  I'd think it should be straight 
forward and not getting it bugs me, but, for now, I'm going to move on 
to something else with the phone.

I have found that, resetting your home layout screen or your home 
screen, layout in settings, under general, and reset being the last 
option I think, or second to last option, one of the options after that 
is after you double tap on that, is reset, home screen layout, and I 
found that actually does the trick in getting the widget stack back to 
the way. It was pretty simple.

Unless I’ve missed it, I’m kind of surprised that no one has
mentioned this widget thing before you started mentioning it a month
or so ago. Since I like to keep all my apps in alphabetical order,
when I had gotten some of them out of order a few months ago and
then reset my home screen, I was surprised to find those stacked
widgets as the first things at the top of my home screen. But since
resetting the home screen again only brought them back, I just
decided to live with them.

When I read your question earlier today, I started looking around
again, as since I had decided to live with the widgets, I also
wanted the weather to show up first and then the calendar to show up
when I did the one finger flick to the right. Thus, it kind of looks
like if I double tap and then hold on the weather icon at the top of
the screen, then wait to hear the sound to indicate that a context
menu has shown up, then flick left and right with one finger till I
hear edit stack, then double tap on that edit stack button, then put
my finger down towards the bottom of the screen and find the smart
rotate button, then double tap on it to turn it off, then find the
done button in the upper right corner of the screen, and then double
tap on that done button to save the change, weather and calendar
should stay constant there and not change to maps or photos or
  whatever Apple thinks I want to see at the time.

The only way I can figure to get the weather icon back on the first
page is to delete the widget stack, which it kind of sounds like you
already did, and then move the icon back to the first page, so I’ll
try the steps from the beginning with the widgets intact and see
what happens. I once again put my finger on the weather icon on the
first page, then I double tap and hold on that icon till I hear the
sound, then I flick left and right till I find the remove stack
button, then I double tap on that remove stack button, then I flick

fun, such as adding
featured photos, to useful, such as having the weather front and center 
for your daily planning.
Note:  These instructions were written for sighted persons, who are not

"Tap on

an item", perform a one finger double tap.
1.  Unlock your iPhone if it is locked.
2.  Press your Home screen until the icons start to wiggle.
3.  Tap the Add button in the top left corner.
4.  Apple will suggest widgets. If your desired widget is there, tap it.
5.  If you don't see the widget you want to add, scroll down or use the 
search bar at the top of the feature.

6.  Tap Add Widget.
7.  Tap Done." in doesn't work for me.  How can a blind person tell when 
the icons start to wiggle?  I have a hearing problem and can't get the 
podcast by Thomas Domville on "How to add, remove, and customize widgets 
in iOS" on Applevis to work either.  He did something to get VO to 
announce column numbers that I missed and my Today View on IOS 
15.6.1 does not sound like his demonstration:


https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/how-add-remove-customize-widgets-ios


Also, I'm not clear about what size widget to choose to get all the

My weather app is on screen 2 of my Home screen.

Good Evening, All:

I thought maybe I had reached enough of need to know on the learning curve for 
my SE 2 that I could try a little want to know or curious about things with the 
phone and had heard weather widget  stack so many times on my status bar that I 
decided to try to investigate widgets.

When I got the phone home from the Verizon store, it said   Cupertino and the 
weather there and not my town and weather in the status bar that was very 
annoying.  Several days later, I asked my computer tech who was here for 
something else if he could turn off raise to tap and he did and my town and 
weather were magically in the status bar instead of Cupertino when I looked at 
the phone when he left.  Maybe he changed it which was helpful, but I have no 
idea what he did, so I hadn't a clue about how to add a widget to the home 
screen.
Somehow, in my various phone misadventures, I inadvertently added maps and 
photos under the weather widget and had a stack.  At this stage, I have almost 
no need of either of these two and thought I could remove them from the stack 
and keep the very important weather widget.  I read a bunch of old posts and 
listened to a podcast by Thomas Domville on "How to add, remove, and customize 
widgets in iOS" on Applevis, but only found how to rearrange items in a stack 
and how to remove a stack. 
I tried removing one of the widgets I didn't want and probably didn't get far 
enough along to find a do you really want to delete this widget and landed on 
delete stack instead.

an old post VoiceOver Quiz and Answers: Rita's iDevice Advice for December 27, 
2021 "51.  What are Widgets and how do you add them to any screen of apps on 
your iPhone?

Answer:  How to Add Widgets to Your Home Screen.  The extra widget options you 
can add to your Home screen. Adding these can range from fun, such as adding 
featured photos, to useful, such as having the weather front and center for 
your daily planning.
Note:  These instructions were written for sighted persons, who are not using 
voiceOver.  If you are using VoiceOver:  when the instructions say "Tap on an 
item", perform a one finger double tap.
1.  Unlock your iPhone if it is locked.
2.  Press your Home screen until the icons start to wiggle.
3.  Tap the Add button in the top left corner.
4.  Apple will suggest widgets. If your desired widget is there, tap it.
5.  If you don't see the widget you want to add, scroll down or use the search 
bar at the top of the feature.
6.  Tap Add Widget.
7.  Tap Done." in doesn't work for me.  How can a blind person tell when the 
icons start to wiggle?  I have a hearing problem and can't get the podcast by 
Thomas Domville on "How to add, remove, and customize widgets in iOS" on 
Applevis to work either.  He did something to get VO to 
announce column numbers that I missed and my Today View on  IOS 15.6.1 
does not sound like his demonstration:

https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/how-add-remove-customize-widgets-ios


Also, I'm not clear about what size widget to choose to get all the extras like 
barometric pressure when I double tap on the widget.

My weather app is on screen 2 of my Home screen.

I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can help me get weather back prominently 
like it was before.
