Widget Guide

Add the widget

Today's verse on your Home Screen. Your reading streak on your Lock Screen. About a minute each, with a picture for every step.

Nothing here is permanent. To take a widget off later, press and hold it and choose Remove Widget.

Put the daily verse on your Home Screen

Start on your Home Screen, where your app icons are.

  1. Press and hold an empty spot

    Press your finger on a part of the screen with no icon on it, until the icons wiggle. Lift your finger.

    Wiggling icons are normal.

  2. Tap “Edit”, then “Add Widget”

    Tap Edit in the top-left corner, then tap Add Widget.

    The wiggling Home Screen with the Edit button in the top-left corner tapped, showing a small menu with Add Widget at the top.

  3. Search for Wisdom

    Type Wisdom in the search box at the top, then tap Solomon's Wisdom in the list.

    The widget list open over the Home Screen, with a search box at the top and Wisdom at the bottom of the list of apps.

  4. Pick a size and add it

    Swipe left or right across the preview to pick a size, then tap the blue + Add Widget button.

    The wider size fits more of the verse. You can change it later.

  5. Tap “Done”

    Tap Done in the top-right corner.

    Tap the widget any time and today's chapter opens. While your streak is on the line it counts down to midnight next to the flame, and once you've read it shows a check.

Put your streak on your Lock Screen

The Lock Screen is the one with the big clock, the first thing you see when you pick up your phone.

  1. Unlock your phone, then press and hold the clock

    Unlock your phone with your face or passcode, but don't open an app. Stay on the screen with the clock.

    Press and hold the clock until Customize appears at the bottom.

    Nothing happening? Your phone is still locked. Look at it, then hold again.

  2. Tap “Customize”, then “Lock Screen”

    Tap Customize, then tap the picture on the left, labelled Lock Screen.

  3. Tap the row under the clock, then add the circle

    Tap the box under the clock that says ADD WIDGETS. Scroll the list of apps down to Wisdom.

    The Lock Screen being edited: a box under the clock reads ADD WIDGETS, and a list of apps is open below it with Wisdom at the bottom of the list.

  4. Tap Wisdom, then tap the circle

    Tap Wisdom, then tap the Streak circle once to drop it onto your Lock Screen.

    A slim one-line version sits above the clock instead, if you prefer.

    The Wisdom card titled Streak, explaining that the circle fades until you've read today and turns gold when you have, with the round widget in the middle and the words Tap or drag to add widget underneath.

  5. Close the list and tap “Done”

    Close the list with the X, tap Done, then tap the wallpaper.

    The circle dims through the day until you read your chapter, then turns gold. Under the number it counts down to midnight while your streak is on the line, and shows a check once you've read.

If it didn't work

Two things to check, then write to us.

  • Check your iPhone software. These widgets need iOS 18 or newer. Open Settings › General › Software Update.
  • Open Solomon's Wisdom at least once. A widget shows nothing until you've opened the app on that phone.
  • Still stuck? Email vibetempllc@gmail.com with your device and iOS version. We reply within two business days.
