The most useless calendar widget is made by Apple. I constantly forget that someone’s birthday or something important is coming up later in the week.
Now I understand that you can set up alerts and you can set up reminders for stuff. I also understand that you can choose a different size widget. But depending on the size and the amount of events it’s possible it won’t even show you what’s going on the next day in the larger widget as well.
This is forced me to use third-party widgets to display calendar events for the week on my home screen. I hate it because I have no idea if it’s stealing my data.
Bonus Edit! The large widget fails to show you what’s happening today!

Completely agree, this is garbage, and I’ve bitched about it in the past. Annoyingly, both the Gmail and Outlook widgets are far better, but I don’t want either of those on my phone.
you don’t think apple is already stealing your data?
Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.
No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.
Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.
That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.
hm. i admit it was just a general disdain for big companies. their software is proprietary, though.
We all do what we can. For example my calendar is self hosted and managed personally. Apple is simply a client using Caldav.
