X Rolls Out iOS Widgets for Home and Lock Screens
Elon Musk's company X, which used to be called Twitter, has finally added widgets for iPhones and iPads.
These widgets let you see news headlines, notifications, and messages right from your home screen or lock screen.
There are different sizes of widgets, and some even let you talk to Grok, X's AI.
The widgets make it easier to stay updated without opening the app.
Plus, X is also working on making notifications look better with more pictures and visuals.
X introduces home and lock screen widgets for iOS users, featuring news highlights, notifications, and messages.
Widgets come in three sizes: small, medium, and large, for flexible placement on the screen.
Lock screen widgets include X Notifications, X Messages, and Grok AI interaction options.
Grok AI widgets offer both text and voice-based interaction.
X is also redesigning the notifications page on iOS, adding more visual elements.
