If you're using iOS 14 or later, you can easily add a widget to your iPhone home screen. Here's how:

  1. Press and hold any empty space on your home screen until the apps start jiggling and a plus icon appears in the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Tap the plus icon to open the widget gallery.
  3. Swipe left or right to choose a widget that you want to add to your home screen. You can also use the search bar at the top to find a specific widget.
  4. Select the widget size you want to use and tap Add Widget.
  5. Drag the widget to the location where you want it on your home screen and tap Done in the top-right corner of the screen.

That's it! The new widget will now appear on your iPhone home screen.
