Your Home Screen, on your terms. iOS 27 adds an extra-large widget — about a full page. Clocks, weather, cutouts, and handwriting live on the same canvas. Drag, pinch, and turn. Place them your way. Small, medium, large, and extra-large each keep their own layout; change one and the others stay put. Want it on the wallpaper? Choose the transparent widget so no gray tile sits in the way. Open what you actually use with one tap: an app, a link, or a Shortcut. Make the icon yourself if you want. Lift a person or a pet off a photo. Draw or sign, and drop it on as a sticker. No account. Build it, put it on the Home Screen, live with it. Small, medium, and large work on iOS 18 and later. Extra-large needs iOS 27.
