What Are Weather Smart-Stack Widgets?

Weather Smart-Stack widgets are dynamic collections of weather-related information that rotate automatically based on your location, time of day, and activity. By stacking multiple weather widgets, your iPhone intelligently displays the most relevant weather data when you need it.

  4. Add the Widget: Choose the desired widget size (small, medium, or large) and tap "Add Widget."

  5. Position the Widget: Drag the Smart Stack to your preferred location on the Home Screen.

  6. Finalize Placement: Tap "Done" to exit jiggle mode.

This process adds a default Smart Stack to your Home Screen, which you can customize further.

Customizing Your Weather Smart-Stack Widget

  1. Enter Jiggle Mode: Touch and hold the Smart Stack until a menu appears.

  2. Edit the Stack: Tap "Edit Stack" to view and modify the widgets within the stack.
