While not all of your existing apps will already have a widget, many of them do. There are also plenty of new third-party apps that offer great widgets. These third party apps for iOS 14 are not just pretty, they are also practical. The best widgets will give you updates and important information without requiring you to open the app. These are our top recommendations for third-party apps with widgets for your iPhone in iOS 14.

Your Today View is the screen farthest to the left when you're swiping through your Home Screens. In iOS 14, your Today View will show you all sorts of widgets, from weather, to photos, to tips, and more. While it's helpful to have all your widgets in one place, you might want a couple of them on your Home Screen instead. If you check the news a lot, you might enjoy having the headlines right there next to your apps, or if you enjoy seeing your photos even when you're not in your camera roll, these widgets might be ones you want to add to your Home screen. So how do you do it? Let's take a look.

I downloaded a telehealth app, connected with a physician via video chat, and drove to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy—all within an hour. That day, I had a first-hand experience with this evolution in healthcare.

We sell miniatures for things like Dungeons and Dragons and custom parts that are usually more expensive, like washing machine knobs, at reasonable prices.
