It is hard to move something like that, but I'd try to get it moved to Page 1, if it happened to me.
-----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Friday, October 21, 2022 11:15 AM To: V iPhone list <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Getting Weather Widget Back On iPhone Home Screen I did some more web searches and one from Hadley that the "transcript" was just a sample, but it gave me a hint that I tried with "VoiceOver Quiz and Answers: Rita's iDevice Advice for December 27, 2021" that I mentioned. I have partial success. I once again have a weather widget, but, unfortunately, it's on page 2 of the home screen and not on page 1 where it's more convenient. I was wondering if I can manage to get it on page 1 if I can remove the one on page2 or should I remove the one on page 2 and try again to get it on page 1?
