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.
