Are you looking for a way to disable the widget screen on your iPhone? The widget screen can be a great place to keep your most used apps, but it can also be a bit of an eyesore or a productivity killer if you’re not careful. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to turn off this feature so that you don’t have to deal with it any longer. Here’s how to do it!

First, open the Settings app on your iPhone. Once you’re in the Settings app, scroll down and tap on the ‘Display & Brightness option. This will bring up a new page with several options related to how your iPhone looks and behaves.

On this page, scroll down until you find the ‘Widgets’ section. In here, you’ll see two options: ‘Show Widget Screen’ and ‘Turn Off Widget Screen’. Tap on the ‘Turn Off Widget Screen’ option and confirm that you want to turn it off by tapping on the ‘Turn Off’ button at the bottom of the screen.

That’s all there is to it! After completing these steps, your Widgets screen will no longer appear when swiping left from your home or lock screens. If at any point you decide that you want to re-enable it, just follow these same steps and toggle back on the ‘Show Widget Screen’ option instead of ‘Turn Off’.
