TechTip Tuesday – iOS 14 Pinterest Widget

Having a technical/developer background, a lot of times I get asked to tell someone how to work something and end up being the default tech support person for a lot of people that know me. As I’ve been resurrecting my blog, one thought I had was to try my hand at doing some sort of technical tip post regularly. I don’t want to flood my blog with a bunch of tech tips that are already all over the internet, but as I come across things that might be novel concepts, I’ll post them for my readers to enjoy and hopefully help people out.

If you know know what iOS widgets are and how they changed with iOS 14 I’m not going to go into detail, Google is your friend. That being said, as you can see from the post image above, I have found a cool/fun way to use the Pinterest widget to add some flair to my home screens in a way that can be motivating or just plain fun. To add a fun widget follow the steps below.

1. Select the Pinterest widget that is just the plain Pinterest tile and press Add Widget.

2. Next, navigate to the home page where it appeared, you will see something like this.

3. Give it a long press to open up the menu and select Edit Widget.

4. Click the Choose option next to Board

5. Select the board you would like to using the Search box if necessary.

6. Verify you have selected the Update frequency you want then tap outside the window and enjoy your new Pinterest widget!
