Interactive Widgets Are Finally Here
It took Apple quite some time to let us use widgets in our iPhone’s Home Screen, and it took a couple more years before we could actually interact with them. But thanks to iOS 17, we finally have the ability to use interactive widgets.
This means that you don’t have to use a widget as a shortcut anymore. Instead of using the Reminders widgets to open your reminders, you can check things off on your to-do list right from your Home Screen.
Granted, unlike Android, not every widget is interactive yet. But most developers have already started using this feature, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding the right widget for your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
