And that is what the 4-finger tap on the bottom half of the screen is for, if 
done correctly it will take you to the last element on the screen and on the 
Today View that happens to be the Edit button.

I think you are not seeing the edit button because you have a lot on todays 
screen. I have the same issue both on my iPad and my iPhone.
Here how I was able to reach the edit button. On today’s screen I swiped up 
with three fingers until the edit button appeared on the lower right corner of 
my screen. Swiping right with one finger did not do it for me. It simply put me 
at the end of page one of today’s screen. I found the edit button at the end of 
page two of Today’s screen which happened to be page two.

That makes sense, but no matter what I do I don’t find the edit button. If I 
flick right this morning I end up at Mail, which is an app I’ve used today. The 
phone simply goes “bonk.” I’ve tried both flicking right and a four-finger 
single tap near the bottom of the screen. Nie gesture gets to any kind of an 
edit field. I have tried re-booting my phone but nothing changes.

Your problem is that  you are going  into Edit mode in the search field and at 
that point a 4-finger single tap on the bottonm half of the screen will take 
you to the last element on the screen which would be the dictate button on the 
keyboard.

Don't double tap on that search field, just go to the Today View and do a 
4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen or just continue to flick right 
until you get to the very bottom and you find the Edit d button I mentioned. 
Now double tap, then go again to the very end by flicking right a lot or again 
use the 4-finger tap and you find the customize button.
Once you activate customize you get to choose from all the options and you can 
add items to the Today View, remove others which are already there if you don't 
want them and reorder what is showing the way you want.

Hi Richard and all.  Still having issues with the today screen.  From the home 
screen I flick down with one finger to get to the showing today view.  It puts 
me on a search text field.  There is an edit field there.   If I double tap  
edit it brings up a keyboard. It also shows a few other things.  I stayed in 
that edit field and did a 4-finger single tap which took me to the dictate 
field. That’s obviously not what I wanted, so I tried again doing as you 
suggested.  When I do a 4-finger single tap at the bottom of the screen I hear 
“screen time, pyramid 13 4 minutes.”  I tried flicking right with no results.  
Just for fun I tried flicking left. I hear all the apps I’ve used today with 
the number of minutes I used each one.  I do eventually see my photos app, 
hearing aid batteries charge, and iphone 13 mini and it’s battery charge. I 
really want to move my apple news and my weather widget to the today view.  I 
am running IOS 15.2 on my 13 mini. This is getting personal and I refuse to be

Paula. If you do 3 fingers swipe up on today screen, you should hear page 1 of  
5 etc. when you reach the last page such as Page 5 of 5, you should be able to 
find the edit button very easily on the bottom right corner.

You probably could get a better explanation of the Today screen on Apple's 
site; but I think of it as a place to store widgets you don't want taking up 
home screen space.
Once you are on the Today screen, a 4 finger tap at the bottom should put you 
on an edit button.
If it doesn't, try flicking right until you land on an actual edit button. 
Double tap.
Then, do the 4 finger tap at the bottom again, and you should find a Customize 
button, double tap.
Now you should be on a screen where you will flick to the right through any 
existing widgets, then get into a list of Widgets you can add.

Hi Richard and all.  Still having issues with the today screen.  From the home 
screen I flick down with one finger to get to the showing today view.  It puts 
me on a search text field.  There is an edit field there.   If I double tap  
edit it brings up a keyboard. It also shows a few other things.  I stayed in 
that edit field and did a 4-finger single tap which took me to the dictate 
field. That’s obviously not what I wanted, so I tried again doing as you 
suggested.  When I do a 4-finger single tap at the bottom of the screen I hear 
“screen time, pyramid 13 4 minutes.”  I tried flicking right with no results.
