Right, but doing the reset home screen layout used to just put the apps
on the screen in alphabetical order and not create those widget stacks,
so I was kind of surprised the first time they got created like that.

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
to the right to the remove button when prompted to confirm, and then
I double tap on that remove button. Now to get the weather icon back
on the first page, keeping in mind that that will then reorder the
placement of the rest of the apps. From the first page on the home
screen, I do a three finger swipe to the left to bring up the second
page, then I put my finger on the weather icon on the top left of
that second page, then I flick down with one finger and hear edit
mode, then I double tap and hear started editing, then I put my
finger on the weather icon again, then I flick up with one finger
until I hear drag weather, then I double tap on the drag weather,
then I hear find my as that is the next app on the page, but I flick
right with three fingers to get back to the first home screen, then
I find facetime in the upper left of the home screen, then I flick
down with one finger until I hear drop weather before facetime, then
I double tap on that drop weather before facetime, then I hear drop
complete once I have done that and weather is once again in the top
left of the first page.

*Subject: *Re: Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen
I did some more web searches and one from Hadley that the "transcript"
was just a sample, but it gave me a hint that I tried with "VoiceOver
Quiz and Answers: Rita's iDevice Advice for December 27, 2021" that I
mentioned. I have partial success. I once again have a weather
widget,
but, unfortunately, it's on page 2 of the home screen and not on page 1
where it's more convenient. I was wondering if I can manage to get it
on page 1 if I can remove the one on page2 or should I remove the
one on
page 2 and try again to get it on page 1?
Many thanks,
Margaret
