September 2, 2022March 9, 2023

In iOS 14, Apple overhauled widgets, allowing you to add them to your Home screen in addition to the Today View accessible by swiping right on the Home screen.

If you no longer want these older widgets cluttering the bottom of your Today View, here’s how to remove them. Swipe right on the Home screen to enter Today View.

In the Add Widgets screen, tap the red ⊖ button next to each widget you want to delete and confirm by tapping Remove.
