 Do you wish to create widgets on a transparent background screen of your iPhone? Well, here we are going to provide some essential tips and procedures to tackle this situation.

iPhone provides many ways to customize your iPhone Home screen with several icons and widgets. Still, unfortunately, you might fail to add a space between each other. Creating and placing widgets in a clear background on an iPhone is not so easy. It needs some workarounds to make the process easier. You can use several apps to add or create widgets with your transparent background on your iPhone.

Here is how to create widgets on transparent background with ease:

Creating Transparent Widget Background via Scriptable App

One can use the app “Scriptable” to ease the job of widget creating and placing. It will help the user to cut out a separate section of the respective background by using the ready-made script. You will not need to write a single line of code! Just perform the copy, paste and run action.

To use the app on your device, follow these straightforward instructions:

• At the start, you have to capture a screenshot of an empty page of your home screen.
• You need to decide where you desire to put your widget. Once you have decided it, then the app “Scriptable” cuts a separate and right portion of the respective wallpaper.
• When you have captured a screenshot on the background of your iPhone, then you will be using the same as a widget background. It is supported by various third-party applications such as Sticky Widgets, Widgetsmith, or even Scriptable.
• If you have your screenshot on your device, then swipe towards the last page of your Home screen, where you haven’t any widgets or app icon.
• Now, hit the Slide and Volume upward tabs simultaneously. In case your iPhone has a Touch ID, then hit the side and Home tabs.
• After that, navigate to the GitHub page and then copy the code displayed on it.
• Now, launch the app Scriptable and then hit the “+” signed icon located at the uppermost right-hand side section.
• After that, apply double-click on the empty area of your screen and then hit the Paste option.
• Once the code has been added successfully, hit the Run icon. It appears as a play symbol located into the toolbar at the lowermost section.
• Then, press the Continue button there.
• Choose the captured screenshot directly from the media uploader section.
• Now, hit the widget size tab that you desire to create as per your preferred size:
• Small
• Medium
• Large
• Now, you have to tap the area or location where you wish to place your widget.
• Next, hit the tab “Export to Photos” to save your image in the Photos app.
• Then, you will find the widget background in your Photos app.
