Sam has the BEST cinematics of any channel in the tech community. Beautiful shots and pans, couldn't love them any more!
Great guide and explained very well
Your wallpapers are always an instant purchase for me. Really love this new collection!
Why you always set the icons super tiny 😅

Thank you very much ❤ it help me a lot, for setting my iPhone to the next level 🎉🎉🎉
I've been an Android user for years and I'm really curious to dig into the world of apple. Bro makes everything look so elegant 🤩 istg if I ever get an iPhone this is the first thing I'm doing 😶🌫️✨
Very nicely filmed video
Wow, super nice and cool 🙌😍
Thank you! I recently switched to iPhone, was in the android game too long it was time for some change but man I missed the ability to make a phone yours.
And that's why it looks so good..in my opinion.
Android Users: Look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power. 🤣

Great Video, Sam ! I was wondering if we can use different app icons for different focus modes ?
Hey Sam! Looks amazing, I always follow your guides, buy all your assets and do these home screen setups, just spent 6 months with the S23 Ultra and have just got a 15 pro max, whilst this looks awesome as usual, I’m a bit disappointed with the widgy animations you see before opening an app, was there notification badges last year? Anyways can I just use your setup from last year, I think you used some icon apps, and the shortcut app, but if I remember correctly, we didn’t have these widgy animations to deal with, it was the Dynamic Island that hid the animations, so yeah will last years setup work on ios17?
Yo can you make an updated guide for one ui 6 and s24 ultra? i'd love to see what you have in store with the new updates
Just got an iPhone 15 Pro so I need this. I find the iPhone so boring by default. Definitely need this video.
Help! I cant scan the QR code and i cant find the link!
I don't know what aspect ratio you have for this video, but watching this on my iPad has huge black boxes at the top and bottom. Just cannot see enough of the video.
The clear space widget does only take on the Dark mode screenshot so it only works when I turn on the dark mode
Although I don't have an iPhone and prefer android it's cool to see how iphone users would customize their phone

How hard would it be to add one or two more pages the same way, but without the weather showing and an extra row of icons? I tried it but somehow botched it 🤦🏻♂️
Whenever i import the weather & icons widget to Widgy, it gives me an older wallpaper from one of your previous themes.. Anything i can do to fix that? also no matter what i do i can't get rid of the grey dockbar, only is hidden during the dark mode focus, whenever i turn off the dark mode focus, it will appear again.. please help
18:03 I found a solution to that shadow ios puts under labels on light wallpapers. In accessibility there is a setting called reduce transparency, if you connect that to an abbreviation when pressing three times the power button it will switch on the reduced transparency, taking away the shadow, and it should also leave it disabled when you turn it back off. Give it a try and lemme know!

It’s not uncustomisable though. In fact if you use app shortcuts you can open apps without the jump to a 3rd party app.
I love this stuff and now with an iPhone 15 pro max,I jumped all over this. My biggest problem is that the QR code didn’t work ( I know how to use the ) and the link you said was in the description? What? What link. Considering this process can be used for other wallpapers, the QR code was for one widget with no explanation on of i had other wallpaper and icons. I worked through the video and crashed at that point. Love what the outcome is, but didn’t understand why the QR code didn’t work, where the link was and what if the widget wasn’t your lake theme. Can you help me out?

yeeaaaaaaaaahhhh first comment. I like your channel and your app too bro your amazing
I've got my widget the way I want it, but I can't import it onto my home screen. When I tap my widget space which takes me to the Widgy app and I see the widget under "imported", I click on it and instead of taking me to a screen like in 15:45, it takes me to a preview of the widget with four options underneath: “edit widget”, “edit as a copy”, “start in PiP mode” and “share widget”. I thought I followed the instructions step-by-step, so I don't know what I've done wrong 😟 if someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated
Can't find the Link for the widgy widget setup. It's not the drops icon pack isn't it?
How do we get the QR code for the home screen section?
Will using any of these customization apps slow down or use more battery up? The thought of that is why I never do anything like this

How to purchase the watercolor?
It says widgy at the bottom of the widget which makes it look cheap.
I found a quick (but not permanent) solution to the label shadow glitch. Tap as if you were about to add a widget and simply slide the clear space widget from top to center a couple of times until the shadow of both widgets disappears. When you've got it right, click done. It will remain this way until the phone switches to dark mode. You'll have to repeat this process when going back to light mode... better than nothing. 🤷♂

Possibly because you’ve already used Widgy before, and have setup transparent wallpapers already? Either way, you can change them afterwards under the Manage tab.

It’s not iOS being restrictive because if you use app shortcuts it doesn’t do that. So you can still customise your Home Screen you just need to do it without using the Widgy app. Hopefully Widgy will update the way they open apps as it’s possible to do it way smoother on iOS.

Great work - but it blows my mind how... complex and convoluted this process is. My iPhone is still on iOS 14.3 for Jailbreak - and 2 very simple tweaks can accomplish all of this in a fraction of the time with much easier UX. Apple remains so anti-consumer when it comes to customizing iphones.
That is why i love Android more. Too simple with Nova Launcher to do anything, better, more beautiful... On my iPhone, is too much complicated everything, and i am limited to alot of stuff i can't do.

This is why I wish Apple would just allow us to use more customization on our own. Give us true transparency for icons/widgets already and make it to where it doesn’t switch to an app (like widgy) and then launch the actual thing you want to launch. Really annoying that when they launch these capabilities they are extremely half assed to the point I don’t even want to use them that much. If we all came together and wrote feedbacks of it, they might change though.

I switched back to an iPhone after a few years on the Android side and have come to the conclusion that iPhone customization isn't worth it. Why Apple won't pull it's head out of the sand and allow users to easily customize their phones is beyond me. Even with this tutorial, I spent several hours trying to do this. And only then finding out there's no way to connect the phone, settings, camera, or KZread Music apps to the icons in Widgy??? Those should be standard options. Unlike Apple's iconic Mac commercial, iPhones are stuck in the sea of sameness. I'll just keep an Android phone on hand to support my customization desires.
Please??
