Topic: iPhone widget

The description in the app store mentions a today widget, but nothing shows up on the list of available widgets to add to the Today screen. How can I install the widget?

Re: iPhone widget

Try adding it on the widgets screen (one left from your home screen) instead of from your home screen and it'll show up.

Let me know.

Re: iPhone widget

Doesn't work for me either... Won't show up as if there is no such widget (ios, iPhone 12 pro max)

Re: iPhone widget

widgets screen -> edit -> (bottom of the list) customize

It'll show up there.

Oh, so this is the "old" widget. I thought we were talking about the new version of widgets that can be displayed on the home screen as well smile

Re: iPhone widget

iOS 18 has disabled the old widget system, instead only keeping the ones made with the SwiftUI framework. As of iOS 18 public beta 3, I don’t have a next-episode widget available anymore.

Re: iPhone widget

I'm aware of this issue and working on it.

(though I've never worked with swift before, so it'll be a long process)

Re: iPhone widget

Thanks. I really miss the "Yesterday" tab, though. :-(
