In addition to now becoming available on Apple Watch and Mac, widgets on iPhone and iPad will also become interactive in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, the company said. The announcement flew a bit under the radar during yesterday’s keynote address, given the bigger consumer-facing changes coming to the new OS — like a brand-new Journal app, FaceTime voicemail, a significant update to the Messages app, StandBy mode, and more, not to mention the Vision Pro headset. However, the company shared more details about how new widgets will work during its Platforms State of the Union address with developers. > With interactive widgets, developers will be able to build widgets that let you perform a simple task with a tap — like checking off an item on your to-do list, for example.
