How To Add or Remove Home Screen Widgets in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14

Apple’s new OS for its iPhones, the iOS 14 has started rolling out as developer beta. The version has bought some good features into the OS like App library, home screen widgets, and a new interface for SIRI. Above all, the Picture in picture video playback mode now lets users have a true multitasking experience. Although most of the features have already been on Android like the widgets, have been there in androids ever since. But as always, there is an added twist in it. Like the widget stacking, which allows users to have multiple widgets on the same page. Users can browse through them by swiping up and down on it.

Other features of the new update include hiding an entire app drawer page. You can place the apps you don’t use very often to a page and hide that page.
