iOS Widget Overview
The iOS Widget of apps appears on users’ Home Screens and Locked Screens when swiped right. They serve as a content preview for apps a user engages with often or has engaged with recently, especially News sources. Primarily, one article or video is shown, and the Show More option displays the next 3 latest articles/videos.
As shown above, the widget will display a featured image and the title of each article or video, as well as the option to Save and Share.
Select Your Feed
Select a default feed for your app’s widget! You can choose any feed (an mRSS, RSS, Custom Feed via Feed Builder), that contains articles and/or videos.
Navigate to App Creator > Design and select iOS Widget on the left-hand side. From here, you can select the feed of your choice.
After feed selection, make sure to hit save.
