iOS 14.3 Deleting Widgets? How To Get Your Deleted iPhone Widgets

If you’ve also updated your iPhone to the latest iOS 14.3, chances are that you’ve lost all or some third-party widgets. Now if your widgets are gone from the home screen, you won’t find them in the widgets menu either. We lost widgets in the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 11, and the iPhone SE (first-gen). Our iPhone X did not encounter the issue.

iOS Widgets Deleted

Last night, I updated my iPhone 12 Mini with iOS 14.3. When the update was finished, I noticed my Spotify and IMDb widgets were gone. I had a smart stack that showed Spotify and the weather. The weather widget was there, but Spotify was gone and couldn’t be found in the widgets menu either. Same with IMDb, YouTube Music, and WhatsApp.

How To Restore Deleted Widgets On iPhone?

To restore a widget, you’ll have to delete and reinstall the app whose widget you were using. Make sure you take a backup in case it’s WhatsApp or any other application that might have precious data. Here, I’m using Spotify to show the method.

  1. Uninstall App

    To uninstall an app, long-press the app icon > Delete App > Delete. If you’re uninstalling an app from the home screen, long-press on the app icon > Remove App > Delete App > Delete.
