Once your Widgets screen is showing the desired widgets, you just have to train yourself to become accustomed to using it. We recommend putting a widget whose information you care deeply about at the top\u2014perhaps Apple News headlines or your favorite weather app\u2014so you\u2019ll be rewarded for each visit.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s impossible to know which of your third-party apps might provide a widget that\u2019s compelling for you, many of Apple\u2019s apps provide useful widgets. You might particularly like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find Friends, which shows the locations of your Find My Friends people<\/li>\n<li>Mail, which provides buttons to show messages from each of your VIPs<\/li>\n<li>Maps Destinations, which displays locations for upcoming events; tap one to get directions<\/li>\n<li>News, which shows you Top Stories<\/li>\n<li>Reminders, which lists your to-dos, and you can even mark them done from here<\/li>\n<li>Up Next, which displays the next event on your calendar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that some widgets, like Activity (for Apple Watch users) and Find Friends, show their data only when the iOS device is unlocked. So if you\u2019ve entered the Widgets screen from the Lock screen, you must use Touch ID or enter your passcode to get them to work\u2014for Touch ID users, that means merely resting your finger on the Home button.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what device you have, if you\u2019re using iOS 10, take a few minutes to play with the Widgets screen. It makes accessing widgets so much easier, and you\u2019ll be surprised at how many of your apps come with widgets that can make your iOS life just a little better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> If you\u2019re running iOS 10, try the new Widgets screen, where you can access a custom set of useful little apps from the Lock screen or the Home screen.
