Tip
If you downloaded iOS 14 this week, here’s a tip about widgets. Any of the same sized widgets can be stacked on top of each other and then rotated by swiping up and down. If you have a few music apps with widgets, for example, you can create a stacked music-themed one.
Bonus: I’ll send the first 5 paying subscribers who email me (tyler@liisten.com) a cassette pin. Feel free to subscribe to be included.
