Today, this article will show you how to create countdown Home Screen widget on iPhone and iPad. iOS 16 has a lot of apps that can be used to make countdown icons. You won’t find the word “countdown” in the App Store, so don’t waste your time looking for it there. We’ve been playing around with one called Countdown Widget Maker. It’s not free, but if you want elegant widgets that you can adjust, it does the job.
Why would you want an app like Countdown Widget Maker? Because you want to know how many days, hours, or minutes are left until a big event in your life, like your birthday, the release of a brand-new gaming system, the time left on your COVID quarantine, or when you can quit your job.
If you’re looking forward to something, you may be thinking how to add a countdown widget to the Home Screen of your iPhone. iOS 16 doesn’t come with any countdown apps by default. Even so, any of the new iPhones, like the iPhone 14 Pro Max, let you make your own. The process is the same on iPadOS 16, so if you have an iPad, you can follow the steps we’ve given below.
