One of the novelties of iOS 14, the latest version of Apple's operating system, resides right in the widget, the long-awaited graphical user interface components. There Customization of the Home screen with widgets leaves a lot of room for imagination and personal creativity, since it is possible to change the organization and order of the iPhone's screens in various ways. One particular way of personalizing the Home screen, however, has been spreading in recent days, and involves using widgets to show the photo of your gallery on the Home screen. There are several ways to do this, and it depends on how you want to set up your photo screen.
Add photos in iPhone widgets
For this purpose, we recommend that you use the app widgetsmith, obtainable free of charge fromApp Store. The application in question allows the total customization of its widgets which, unlike the default ones of iOS, may contain one specific photo or others information, such as the current date, time or temperature.
- start Widgetsmith by pressing on its icon located on the Home screen
- Within the main screen, select the greatness of the widget you want to create (small, medium or large)
- Once you have made your choice, click on the widget shape and, on the next screen, on Default widget (to add other widgets just click on Add Small Widget and another will be generated)
- Inside the new screen that will open you can choose from many functions to be included in the widget; to insert a photo scroll the screen until you find the entry Photo
- Press on it to select the function, then press on Selected Photo to select the photo to insert into the widget

If you intend to create a pila (i.e. a series of overlapping widgets) with your photos, the process is very simple.
