The most anticipated feature in iOS 14 is that you can finally add Widgets to the desktop (although this has been available on Android for a long time), which is much easier to use. When you want to view any information in the future (such as weather information, clock, etc.), you don’t have to slide to the leftmost Widget screen every time. In addition, this time the gadget also adds a new option of “smart stacking”, which integrates multiple practical gadgets and switches them by sliding up and down, saving more desktop space. If you still don’t know how to operate it, this article will take you through screenshots to quickly understand the steps to add iOS 14 gadgets.

After deciding on the size and clicking “Add Gadget”, it will appear on the desktop:
Just like App, you can press and drag to other page desktops or locations:

Smart stacking also comes in three sizes:
After adding it to the desktop, sliding up or down will switch the displayed gadgets, such as the clock, calendar and weather as shown below:
It’s a pity that currently this smart stack cannot add or delete other gadgets, but can only change the display order:
