    Agreed. Very reminiscent of one of the cooler features of Windows Phone.

    Also think Spotlight is an underrated feature. It’s the main way I interact with my iPhone.

    It’s great when combined with Focus Modes where you’ve given each Focus its own Home Screen. Ensures you have access to certain widgets regardless of which Focus is enabled.

    I’ve actually never paid much attention to it until now. It really is useful if you organize it which is something I haven’t done yet

    That’s because widgets are new to iOS. Android has had them for years, and they can be placed anywhere on a home screen.

    I only use “today view” as a customized control center with the big shortcuts widget.

    Before I found an app that could make Wallet passes for my store cards, I used this page to have the QR/barcodes only a swipe away on my lock screen.

    Took screenshots from the store’s apps, added them to individual albums and then added the Photos widget, selecting the album per widget.

    You could also stack them to be able to just swipe between the codes. This may even work better to avoid scanning the code next to the one you meant to scan.
