iPhone users can also scroll widgets, or let their device decide which app to show and when based on your phone activity. If the user usually checks their calendar or weather app first thing in the morning, both of those apps will be included by Smart Stack to automatically show the weather forecast followed by the user's agenda. However, you can also create your Smart Stack to avoid the widget stacking in your iPhone. You can customize the apps based on your preference. Here's the simple guide you can use, but remember, iOS 14 is not finalized yet since it is released in public beta; the highlighted features could still be updated in the future.
1) To start editing your home screen, you need to long-press on your iPhone's display between the apps in the dock and the first row of apps on your home screen.
2) Click on the top icon located on the top-left of the screen and then scroll through the list of available widgets. Drag one of the widgets you want to include in your personalized Smart Stack at the top of your home screen.
Reminder: the widgets that you can add to a stack need to be of the same size.
3) Customizing the widgets to your stack has the same process as creating a folder for other applications; you need to drag one on top of another app. You can either let your iPhone automatically switch the stack for you or scroll through your stack at any time manually.
4) You can also change your customized stack by clicking "Edit Stack" from the popup menu if you want to change the widget's order or remove one of them. Dragging each widget's name up or down will allow you to change the order. You can remove one of the widgets by swiping left across the name to activate the "Delete" option.
