[iOS14] Have you updated yet??

The new OS for iPhone, "iOS14", was announced in September 2020.

With features like back tap functionality and the addition of bicycle routes in Maps, there are many changes,

but the most talked-about feature is the ability to add "widgets to the home screen."

You can now add clock, calendar, notes, and weather widgets to make your home screen visually appealing, and everyone is customizing it cutely ♡

(The icons on the home screen can also be changed starting from iOS14 ♩)

You can add a countdown widget!

Everyone is getting creative to make their home screens adorable, but.....

Here’s a recommended widget for brides-to-be to add ♡

It’s a widget that can do a **countdown** ♡

It would be convenient to set the "X days until the wedding" countdown on your home screen, which you previously had to check in a specific app or page, and it raises excitement every time you look at your phone ♩
