GoKawiilWith iOS 27, users will be able to add new extra-large widgets to their Today View and Home Screen. Here are the details.
iOS 27 adds extra-large widgets
Apple announced iOS 27 today, bringing hundreds of new features, including the much-anticipated Siri AI, improved search, and new Apple Intelligence capabilities sprinkled throughout the system.
And while iOS 27 includes plenty of high-profile additions, it also introduces several smaller changes, including independente volume settings for alarms and timers, and for alerts and system sounds.
Another is a new extra-large widget size, which joins the existing small, medium, and large widget options available on the Home Screen and in Today View.
Small widgets are essentially 2×2 panels, medium widgets are 4×2, and large widgets are 4×4. With iOS 27, the new extra-large widget size offers a 4×6 canvas, giving apps more room to surface information at a glance.
As with other widget sizes, users can resize an extra-large widget by dragging the bottom-right drag handle, either shrinking it to a smaller format or expanding an existing widget into the new extra-large layout.
Right now, only a handful of Apple’s built-in widgets support the new extra-large size, but support should expand as developers update their apps ahead of iOS 27’s release this fall.
