Widgets make it easy to check the info you need without opening apps – a real time-saver! As of iOS 17, widgets are better than ever, with added interactivity and functionality. Check out our selection of top iPhone widgets everyone should try! Good to know : learn about adding widgets on Mac and removing them when needed. The iPhone’s default Weather widget effectively displays essential information, such as temperature and forecast on your home/lock screen.
But if you rely on other third-party weather apps to get your information, you can switch out the default widget for one of your choice. I prefer HeyWeather , as it offers various widgets that you can customize. Some are free, and some require a subscription, but the most comprehensive is free and includes temperature info and forecast, as well as additional info, such as UV index, humidity, pressure, and wind speed.
If you want to have more options to customize your weather widgets, try Carrot Weather , although widgets require the premium plan. If you value precision, try AccuWeather , which gives you access to a pair of free standard widgets. If you want to have your weather prognosis delivered in a really adorable fashion, check out CuteWeather .
