You can add Day One widgets on the Today View, Home Screen, and Lock Screen on iOS.\u00a0Starting in iOS 14, users can add these to the home screen for additional customization. There are now different size options users can choose for Widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The options are Daily Prompt<\/strong>, On This Day<\/strong>, Streak<\/strong>, and Today<\/strong>. See this guide from Apple on how to enable widgets in iOS 14<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
