How to Add Weather Widget to iPhone Home Screen [iOS 16.5]

To be honest, Apple doesn’t want you to go with or download any third-party app, therefore, making all the default apps as powerful as possible. Weather App and Widget is one such example of it. With iOS 14, Weather Widget is much more improved, lets you change the location, re-position on the home screen, etc. By default, the Weather Widget is added to the Today’s View, however, the good news is, it can be adjusted in the middle of the applications, instead of Today’s View. Plus, you get to choose from a variety of widget sizes, like small cards with limited info, a bigger widget with the weekly forecast, and more.
