That makes sense, but no matter what I do I don’t find the edit button. If I flick right this morning I end up at Mail, which is an app I’ve used today. The phone simply goes “bonk.” I’ve tried both flicking right and a four-finger single tap near the bottom of the screen. Nie gesture gets to any kind of an edit field. I have tried re-booting my phone but nothing changes.
Maybe I should call Apple Accessibility. Thanks anyway. I do understand how it should work, but it doesn’t. God bless!

Don't double tap on that search field, just go to the Today View and do a 4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen or just continue to flick right until you get to the very bottom and you find the Edit d button I mentioned. Now double tap, then go again to the very end by flicking right a lot or again use the 4-finger tap and you find the customize button. Once you activate customize you get to choose from all the options and you can add items to the Today View, remove others which are already there if you don't want them and reorder what is showing the way you want.

Still having issues with the today screen. From the home screen I flick down with one finger to get to the showing today view. It puts me on a search text field. There is an edit field there. If I double tap edit it brings up a keyboard. It also shows a few other things. I stayed in that edit field and did a 4-finger single tap which took me to the dictate field. That’s obviously not what I wanted, so I tried again doing as you suggested. When I do a 4-finger single tap at the bottom of the screen I hear “screen time, pyramid 13 4 minutes.” I tried flicking right with no results. Just for fun I tried flicking left. I hear all the apps I’ve used today with the number of minutes I used each one. I do eventually see my photos app, hearing aid batteries charge, and iphone 13 mini and it’s battery charge. I really want to move my apple news and my weather widget to the today view. I am running IOS 15.2 on my 13 mini. This is getting personal and I refuse to be defeated by this cute little phone. Sorry for the continued questions. It’s probably something very basic I’m missing.

Once you are on the Today screen, a 4 finger tap at the bottom should put you on an edit button. If it doesn't, try flicking right until you land on an actual edit button. Double tap. Then, do the 4 finger tap at the bottom again, and you should find a Customize button, double tap. Now you should be on a screen where you will flick to the right through any existing widgets, then get into a list of Widgets you can add.

Since I haven’t heard back from anyone on this topic, I’m re-sending this hoping I can get an answer. I want to move things like apple news and the weather widget onto the today screen. Maybe this isn’t possible. I’m still having trouble moving items onto the today screen. I’ve tried following Sieghard’s directions which seem very clear, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I swipe down with one finger and get to the today screen, It says showing today screen. Then I do a 4 finger single tap which takes me to screen time which I assume is The last app on the screen. From there I have to flick up to edit, but I can't figure out what to do after that. Maybe I’m not understanding what the today view actually is. If this is too basic for the group feel free to email me at pau...@roadffunner.com <mailto:pau...@roadffunner.com> . I know my computer ignorance is showing again. That's why I appreciate this group so much. I’m willing to learn, even though it may take me a little longer. Thanks for your patience and the information Yare so willing to share. God bless!
