iPad Today View: Where Did It Go in iPadOS 15?

By Olena Kagui Mon, 08/02/2021

Before iPadOS 15, currently available in beta and available to the public in the fall, you could only add widgets to an iPad Home screen by having them in Today View and pinning it to the Home screen. The new iPadOS update lets iPad users enjoy widgets anywhere on their iPad. This means that your pinned Today View may have disappeared from your Home screen, but it's not gone!

What Is Today View on iPad

Today View is available on both iPad and iPhone. You can see it by swiping all the way right from your Home screens. Today View helps you get information from your favorite apps at a glance. You can edit it, and you can remove and add widgets from it. However, you can also have widgets on your regular Home screen.

How to Find Today View on iPad (iPadOS 15)

Although you can no longer pin Today View to your Home screen like you could in iPadOS 14, you can still access it just as you would on an iPhone.

From your main Home screen, swipe right.
You will see the Today View and you can edit it.

Before the iPadOS 15 update, widgets could only be used on Today View. Now, they can be used on your iPad, just like on an iPhone running iOS 14 or newer. Learn how to add widgets to iPad Home screen.

Although many of us miss having Today View where we can always see it, we can now get the same widgets directly on our iPad’s Home screen. To learn more about iPad widgets, sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter.
