The most useless calendar widget is made by Apple. I constantly forget that someone’s birthday or something important is coming up later in the week.
Now I understand that you can set up alerts and you can set up reminders for stuff. I also understand that you can choose a different size widget. But depending on the size and the amount of events it’s possible it won’t even show you what’s going on the next day in the larger widget as well.
This is forced me to use third-party widgets to display calendar events for the week on my home screen. I hate it because I have no idea if it’s stealing my data.
Bonus Edit! The large widget fails to show you what’s happening today!
I agree. Luckily the iOS 18 one is a little better.
It still looks terrible IMO.
Edit:
It’s not differentl. It’s the same as iOS17.
Why it’s terrible.
Edit: I’m familiar with the widget. I don’t need someone explaining to me how to click on a widget. I get it. I also understand it’s different than the one I posted. It’s called “Up Next”.
Despite which one you pick, they’re all poorly designed. It takes up a third of the screen and does a bad job at presenting as much information as possible within reason.
Edit 2: That specific calendar widget you posted from ios18 beta looks exactly the same as it does in ios17. This thread is pointless.
iOS 18 is in beta, which means you should be using the Feedback app to report stuff like this. Apple has actually been very good at responding to me about stuff like this, so I actually encourage you utilize the app.
I’m not running iOS18 beta. I don’t have an app called Feedback. ???
And for the record, the specific calendar widget the user posted from iOS 18 looks exactly the same as the one in iOS 17.
This whole thread is pointless.
Yeah the “whole thread” goes off about iOS 18, so my bad for assuming people were using iOS 18. 😒
Though you’re right, the entire thread is pointless. I’m considering blocking this community because it feels like everyone’s got an attitude problem.
