If you want the information in detail, you can tap on the widget and it will open the information on the full version of the app.

... approach to get widgets on the home screen.

How to Add Widgets to iPad Home Screen

Firstly, to experience the Widget you have to install the iPadOS on your iPad. Because if you have iOS 14, you will not be able to use widgets on your iPads home screen. If you want to check if you have the latest iOS or not, go to Settings > General > About. Check if you don’t have iOS 15, then, update your software.

Now, after confirming, go to your iPad’s home screen. Hold and touch any space on your screen. As the icons start to shake, tap on the (+) on the top left corner.

Now the widget selection panel will open, showing you different widgets available for you to choose from. So, just select the widgets that you want to add to your home screen. You can also use the search bar if you want to search for a specific widget of your choice. After you have found the right widget, you can tap on Add Widget and you can add them on your screen. Or there is another shortcut option, you can just drag and drop the widget to the home screen.

How to Customize iPad Widgets:

Some widgets are easily customizable from the home screen only. You can change things like the type of data available, font, or the location in the weather widget. To customize the widget, go to the edit widget option from the menu that pops up. Select the options that are available on the customize widget.

How to Remove a Widget from Home Screen on iPad?

There are two options available through which you can easily remove a widget from the iPad’s home screen. Both the options are given below:

Firstly, you can just tap on the widget and wait until the menu appears, and then select remove widget from the menu.
Secondly, you can touch and hold any space on your home screen until all the apps and widgets start to shake. Then, just tap on the (-) icon the remove the widget from your home screen. Also, it will not be completely removed and you can easily re-add them whenever you want.
