Hello,
I have an iPad Air 3, and I have just updated it last night to iOS 14. The problem is I can’t add widgets to the Home Screen even tho my home screen is on “More” mode. Also the “keep today view on Home Screen” is on. Does anyone know how to fix this!??
iPad Air, iPadOS 14
People aren’t understanding this problem with PadOS 14. This isn’t about adding widgets freely like on the iPhone. I, too, didn’t have the option to Keep on Home Screen. I restarted and got nothing. Then I figured out why. I had to change my Homescreen to show smaller icons instead of bigger ones. So, Settings - Home Screen & Dock - select “More” and make sure the option below to “Keep Today View on Homescreen” is on. When I switched back to the widget screen, the option was there now. Didn’t have to erase and reinstall. Hope this helps!

Ensure that you have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad - then restore your iPad to factory settings. This process will erase your iPad and install a fresh copy of iPadOS14. At conclusion of the process, you can restore your iCloud/iTunes backup.

Perhaps a forced restart of your your iPad will help - as this often resolves an isolated issue:
Hi aminah88,
I assume you are referring to the fact that you cannot put the widgets in amongst your apps, like you can on your iPhone. Unfortunately, at the moment iPadOS does not support having widgets in amongst apps, neither does it have the app library. The only way to have widgets at a glance is to have the keep today view on Home Screen as you do - then at least you get the widgets on the first page of your Home Screen.
I hope this helps!
I tried that and it doesn’t show the “keep on Home Screen” thing!
i tried it, it didn’t work either! 😭
No, this isn’t about moving widgets like on the iPhone. I, too, don’t have the option to Keep on Home Screen like Apple says. I restarted and nothing. I’ll try to backup and restore.
You cannot add widgets on the home page or other pages on the IPad. This only works on iOS 14, not iPadOS 14.
Thank you so much for this response! Solved my problem of not being able to turn on the "Keep Today View on Home Screen," too!
