Hi Sieghard, Sure, as I stated, stacking widgets is exactly that. One widget on top of each other, so what you see is the information that is on the widget that is currently on top. I have not tested it, but I think all widgets in the stack must be the same size. For myself, I use the medium size widgets.
To stack a widget on top of another, just use the same method that you would use to move an app. For example, lets say that you have one widget already on your home screen and you want to add another on top of it. 1, Flick up on the widget or any app and double tap edit to put things in edit mode. 2, Go to the top and double tap add widget. 3, On the widget screen, choose the widget you want and choose add widget. This will put you back on the home screen with the new wieget. 4, Now, you should still be in edit mode, but if not, just repeat step 1 above to put yourself in edit mode. 5, Just flick up while on the new widget and double tap drag widget. 6, Navigate to your already existing widget, flick down and select add to stack or name of existing widget. 7, Just do not forget about stopping edit mode once done. Here is a few gestures to keep in mind when working with widgets. While on stack of widgets, three finger flick up or down will move between widgets. While on stack of widgets, flicking up or down with one finger and choosing previous or next widget will also move between widgets. Doing a single finger double tap on a widget will open that app, so just like the app icon on your home screen. So for any widget I have, I remove that app icon from my home screen freeing up that space. Doing a double tap and hold or single finger triple tap will bring up a pop up edit screen. You can edit the current widget, edit the stack, plus other choices. By choosing edit widget from pop up menu, you can select from different settings that the developer has built in to the widget. So not all widgets will have this option. By choosing edit stack, allows you to change the order your widgets are stacked. Like I put the widgets that I access more near the top. I am sure I have forgotten something, but hopefully this has been helpful. Like I said previously, I have a 4 widget stack. My top 2 widgets is my reminders and calendar, but I also have a weather and battery status widget that I can access when I need too. I also used the Today Screen widgets prior to the new widgets being added to ios 14. It just seems to me personally that the new ones are easier to access and are more flexible with settings. Plus, I am not sure how much the Today Screen widgets are still being developed. Again, hope this helps.
