  • u/Mullar_A: This set of Kustom widgets shared on reddit has pretty much all the stock iOS 14 widgets Apple showed off during the announcement. Android widgets usually don’t have a label underneath but iOS 14 widgets do. That’s a detail many iOS 14 widgets have missed but not these.
  • u/dontbeaboot: Reddit user dontbeaboot gets a little more creative with the iOS 14 widget form factor. The music widget and the Google widget look absolutely gorgeous. Importing these is a little tricky because you have to make sure the two png files are placed in the /Kustom/ folder while the widgets themselves in the /Kustom/widgets/ folder.
  • u/Patient-Summer-8438: This is a rather small collection with several 2×2 and 4×2 widgets including RSS feeds as news, weather, activity, etc.
  • u/Aashir-Shaikh: This is a collection of 2×2 and 4×2 iOS 14 Google widgets for Android. These widgets are inspired by Google’s official iOS 14 widgets and are available in both light and dark themes.
