Super widget, a component that supports multiple functions. iOS14 widget, with me is enough. Picture widget: you can put the pictures from your own album to the desktop, but also built-in a large number of pictures for your use. Text widget: you can customize the size, color, position and background of the text you want to put on the desktop.
