Interactive Widgets
Apple’s widgets are finally growing up to become far more useful, adding the ability to interact with them right from your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
This includes features like completing Reminders, controlling accessories in the Home widget, and playing or pausing media in the Music widget. What’s even more exciting is now that iOS 17 is out, we should see third-party developers releasing updates for iOS 17, so you’ll be able to take advantage of these same capabilities in your favorite apps.
When macOS Sonoma comes out in a few weeks, you’ll also be able to have widgets from your iPhone appear on your Mac desktop — even for apps that don’t have macOS versions.
