HOW TO ADD A TWIST TO YOUR NEW WIDGET IPHONE UPDATE

HELLO LOVES! I HAD ALOT OF FUN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE NEW UPDATE AND I AM OBSESSED WITH HOW MY HOME SCREENS TURNED OUT.

OKAY SO IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY HAD A CHANCE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE ON YOUR PHONE GO DO THAT NOW.

GO INTO YOUR SETTINGS, GO TO GENERAL & CLICK SOFTWARE UPDATE.

PERFECT NOW YOU’RE READY TO DOWNLOAD THE APP CALLED WIDGET SMITH. WHEN YOU GET INTO THE APP YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE WIDGETS.

FOR MY CALENDAR WIDGET FOR EXAMPLE I CHOSE MEDIUM WIDGET AND CHOSE THE UCOMING EVENTS CALENDAR. THEN I CHOSE A PALE PINK BACKGROUND WITH WHITE FONT COLOR IN THE FONT CALLED NEW YORK. I ALSO CHOSE A WHITE BORDER TO GO AROUND IT. YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN.

MY SMALL WIDGETS I CHOSE, I USED THE DAY/DATE AS ONE WIDGET AND THEN THE TIME/LOCATION FOR ANOTHER. I ADDED MY OWN PHOTOS OF MY KIDS ON SOME OF THE WIDGETS. PLAY AROUND WITH IT AND TAG ME WHEN YOU’RE DONE! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE.

NOW LETS START PLAYING AROUND WITH ICONS! SO YOU WILL WANT TO OPEN UP THE APP CALLED ‘SHORTCUTS’ ON YOUR PHONE.

1. CLICK ALL SHORTCUTS

2. CLICK THE ‘+’ BUTTON IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN

3. CLICK ADD ACTION

4. CLICK SCRIPTING ICON (BLACK CIRCLE WITH THE LETTER X)

5. CLICK OPEN APP AND THEN CLICK CHOOSE

6. CHOOSE ANY APP YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN ICON FOR

7. EXAMPLE ILL CLICK MESSAGES AND THEN THERE WILL BE 3 LITTLE DOTS IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER, CLICK THAT. NAME THE SHORTCUT “MESSAGES” AND THEN CLICK ADD TO HOME SCREEN

8. DELETE NEW SHORTCUT AND RENAME AS MESSAGES.

9. TO CHANGE THE ICON TO A NEW PHOTO, HOLD DOWN ON THE PHOTO SHOWN. YOU THEN HAVE THE OPTIONS TO TAKE A PHOTO, CHOOSE A PHOTO OR A CHOOSE FILE

10. I PERSONALLY GET ALL MY ICONS FROM PINTEREST AND JUST SEARCH WHITE/PINK AESTHETICS OR BLUE/GREEN AESTHETICS

THATS PRETTY MUCH IT! I’M NOT GOING TO LIE, IT IS QUITE TIME CONSUMING LOL…. BUT SO WORTH IT IN MY OPINION!

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT YOU GUYS CREATE! TAG ME IN STORIES OR POSTS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED HELP AT ALL, SEND ME A MESSAGE.
