No iPhone widget in 2021

[CarlWinslow]

I just wanted to check on here. I feel like I must be missing something. I got a new iPhone 12 I had Samsung galaxy 8 plus edge. I install Fitbit everything fine. I go to add the Fitbit widget to the Home Screen to be able to check my steps every 10 seconds as a ocd person like myself does. But iPhone has no Fitbit widget? There is one that is 10 years old for 3.99 rated 1 star in the App Store. Is this real? Samsung had 10 different widgets different displays different sizes different things shown steps, distance, time all that basically anything you wanted. Apple nothing not even a **ahem**ty basic one? I just wanted to verify there are no widget for apple and I’m just screwed. Thanks 🙂

Have you added your vote, @CarlWinslow?

But the real question is, why go over to the dark side?

late

Maybe I’m missing your point, @CarlWinslow . But like you, I like to check my steps frequently, but do so right on my Fitbit device. I picked a clock face that shows steps every time I flick my wrist. No widget needed.

Or the fact that iOS just works as it should unlike Android phones in terms of syncing and notifications? Also there is no phone list for Apple, just a minimum iOS version required.  I have recently gone from Android to Apple and there is no comparison.

Yep I too have got an IPhone 12 Pro from a Samsung8 Edge and I’m soo disappointed there’s no widget!!! I was hoping to have some stats at a glance (other than on my wrist) as I’m a big numbers person and I find the stats really motivate me! Such a shame as widgets are the best thing ever 😩

Android is far better than Apple. I just switched to Apple as well, thanks to ATT's deal. So now the texting app can figure out how to keep the keyboard in correct orientation? The Apple Maps is lets say interesting? The lack of widgets for multiple things and the inability to set up the home page they way you want.

I would like to see this too. I’m trying to lose weight and it would be nice to have the widget that tells me calories left and steps without having to go into the app. Or maybe even create an app for the Fitbit charge 4 and others . 
Fellow iPhone user.

IOS doesn't work, syncing, you mean like Android does with fitbit? Notifications again like Android does and Apple can't. You're right there is no comparison, one is a system where developers actually listen to users and make things that work, the other expects you to only buy their overpriced and underperforming merchandise.

It’s not the dark side if they’re the only ones listening to their customers.
