Transcript
Okay, the people want a tutorial. So I'm gonna teach you how to widget maxx, so like you can organize your phone instead of the other way around. First thing you're gonna want to do is just press and hold your screen. It can be anywhere that you press and hold the screen. Then you're gonna press an app, then it's gonna bring a whole different things. So I would just like top somewhere on the screen of your phone. Hold that, it will start to shake all of the apps and you'll see all of these negative signs, and that's how you know that you're in the right spot. Then you're gonna go and click the edit sign on the top left of your screen. It's gonna pull up these options and you're gonna press add widget. Then it's gonna give you this search bar. You're gonna search whatever widget you want to add. So let's add Instagram first. Scroll all the way until you reach the messages. This one I like this one the best. It brings you to your entire inbox rather than just making you choose most recent DMS. You're gonna hit add widget at the bottom. Repeat the process again, but this time you're gonna scroll until you get to the create. Press add widget on this one. The only reason you need to be on Instagram is just to check your DMs and then hit the create button to post a story or whatever you want. Go directly into the app. That's when you get caught in the feed and you start doom scrolling immediately. It really is helpful because usually I have a purpose for going on and it's not just to see the feed. This takes you directly into the app. In the purpose is whether it's checking your messages or creating content. Repeat the process again, but search TikTok this time and then scroll all the way to the very end. You'll find this search option. Add this widget as well. This will give you the opportunity to search whatever you want on TikTok. Also allow you to go to the inbox and post. It makes it so easy to stay on task when you're going into social media. I use the Pinterest widget for aesthetic and inspo. This one's a little bit different. So you have boards at the top there, or you can scroll to interests. So you can press add. Once you've added the widget to your home screen, you're gonna press and hold the widget, and then you're gonna press edit widget at the top there. You can also select the different sizes. The first one is if you want it to just be the Instagram app. The second one is what it currently is, what it actually is, and then the last option is you can choose whatever board you want for that. You can press add. Once you've added the widget to your home screen, you're gonna press and hold the widget, and then you're gonna press edit widget at the top there. You can also select the different sizes. The first one is if you want it to just be the Instagram app. The second one is what it currently is, what it actually is, and then the last option is you can choose whatever board you want for that. All the names of the apps are in the screenshot. This one is the Days app. This one is Brave browser. That's the browser that I use instead of Safari. Then I have my Activations app. I love, love, love this app and great for motivation and helping get my mindset back on track. This is my Clock app. I just thought it looked prettier like that rather than having it as an app. Then I have my calendar app, my gratitude app, my photos app. You can choose an album for here. This is my Notes app. Then I have my Canva app and my camera app. And then I have my edits app. And then I have my other apps. But going through the process that I showed at the beginning of the video where you just press and hold the app and then press edit, that's usually the easiest way. And you can just remove the app itself from your home screen. It'll keep the widget there. This one is the Days app. This one is Brave browser. That's the browser that I use instead of Safari.

And you can just remove the app itself from your home screen. It'll keep the widget there. I hope that was helpful. If you want a part two of how I broke down so that it was easier for me to know which apps I use the most and what category I would put them in so that each screen had a specific genre of apps. Let me know. I will do that for you. Have so much fun reorganizing.
