iOS 14 Widgets Review
Widgets enable you to take a glance at the app data quickly without having to launch the application. Till the previous update, Widgets had its space on the Today screen, due to which you had to jump to the screen at extreme left once you’ve scrolled right through the home pages.
With the new iOS 14 update, it has become a lot easier as the Widgets have made its space amongst the other apps. It also means that you will no longer have to visit a specific page; instead, you can use them the same way as any other application.

Therefore, the next time you wish to visit the app, the first step prior to using the app was to find its placement. Sure, that gets easy after a while, but what if it was a bit more organized?
Apple realized the need for the same and introduced an App Library with the new update. The new App Library places all the apps on one screen, that too categorized according to the labels, like social, entertainment, etc.
You can access the App Library to the extreme right of all the Home pages. The question is, what’s the use if there’s still a need to swipe through all the pages? Well, the company brought a solution to this as well. You can choose to hide the screens on your phone, which means that the app will remain on your phone, but the clutter will be sorted.
