What Are Interactive Widgets in iOS and iPadOS?

Interactive widgets are an upgraded form of regular widgets. Before introducing interactive widgets, these convenient blocks were passive and only capable of displaying information. For example, a widget could show your reminders or recently played music, but tapping the widget would open the corresponding app.


Interactive widgets can show all the same information as regular widgets, but tapping an element within an interactive widget lets you mark a task complete, play or pause music or a podcast, and accomplish other useful tasks instead of simply opening an app.


This feature was introduced in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, and it works alongside traditional widgets rather than completely replacing them. Only a limited number of widgets are interactive, with the others retaining the older functionality of launching an app. Developers are able to integrate this functionality into their widgets, but they aren’t required to do so.
