We'll show you how to customize Apple's newest widget in iOS 14 to puts snippets of information from your favorite apps on your home screen.

iOS 14 brings a number of refinements large and small to iPhones, including the ability to pin widgets to your home screen and a feature called Smart Stack.

And, for the first time, you can now move widgets out of the Today View and onto your home screen.

Yes, it's a lot like Android. Apple's signature widget is called Smart Stack, and it combines several app widgets that you can scroll through on your own, or let your iPhone decide which app to show you and when, based on how you use your phone. .

For example, if you check the weather and then your calendar first thing in the morning, the Smart Stack will likely include both of those apps and automatically show you the forecast followed by your agenda the first time you unlock your iPhone in the morning.

You also can create your own Smart Stack, curating the included apps to your liking.

You don't have to learn any new steps or techniques to build your own stack -- if you've ever deleted an app or rearranged your home screen, you're more than prepared.

I recommend dragging and dropping additional widgets to your home screen.

Stacking widgets follows the same process as creating a folder for apps -- drag one widget on top of another. 

You can scroll through your stack at any time, or let your iPhone automatically switch for you
