Yes it does 
Iām hoping that theyāll ad this functionality back. Otherwise iām really going to miss my widgets for controlling the main smart home things we use the most. Having said that adding HomeKit to the control center is a nice touch.
I canāt say Iāve ever popped open a widget from the app icon, haptic/force touch is functionality that always been lost on me for the most part. Take Monzo for example, I can open the app to see the balance quicker than the haptic touch widget will give it to me
Good good. Iām looking forward to the new way of organising. I have two pages and then 2 pages of folders. Some I know exactly where they are, others I never remember and just end up searching.
Plus this means my Pinterest app will stay hidden and nobody will know my secrets 
Now Iām intrigued 
I like the fact you can hide whole screens, I have a screen that consists of apps I only use for work, itās nice to know that I can just hide that screen over the weekend or if i took holiday without ever losing it

Fair. I always found it v helpful. If I opened the Monzo app, Iād then have to close it again afterwards. Found popping the widget open way quicker.
And similar use cases are dark sky, fantastical, Citymapper at home to see next departures at my nearest station, stuff like that. Quick, simple. No swiping over to today view.
Edit to say I am assuming rn it wonāt come back given Apple have removed it from all first party apps (including ones theyāve given new iOS 14 widgets to).

Thereās still a list of deeplinking shortcuts on a lot of apps, itās just the actual widget bit that is gone

Yh thatās all still there, for example, haptic touch on Monzo still gives you:
Send Beta Feedback(TestFlight)
Freeze Card
Add Money
Send Money
But the balance widget is gone

Yeah love the shortcuts aspect too.
Donāt really disagree with any of that, but would say that shortcuts (if you mean actually setting some up) probably suffers from the same problems? Feel that probably every single one of my ānot techyā friends doesnāt even know shortcuts exist, let alone has the app.
Will be nice as well if you can use Shortcuts or other Automations to dynamically hide/unhide pages.
Really looking forward to widgets actually - being able to see in an Outlook widget where my next meeting is, or have a dynamic stack that shows Citymapper in the morning, then Outlook during the workday - can see the beauty.
You got me all excited with that, iāve not got a shortcut set up waiting to add hide/show page if they ever add it.
Added condition that if my ip address matched the office ip address then do something.
I really hope they add it now.

Thatās way more technical than Iād even though of. Mine would be If > Monday at 9 amā¦
But IP is a great shout.
i just saw it in the list of triggers and thought that would be perfect as we have fixed IPās and then it wonāt show if iām on holiday or something. Just have to keep fingers crossed they add it now, iām not confident they will

Monzo works with the iOS 14 Beta

Is this true? The new Maps, Stocks, and News widgets, for example, include buttons.
Santander app crashing on launch for me as an FYI. Website works fine though.
Iām not sure, itās just what I read, however looking at the maps widget those buttons are just deep links, they donāt do anything within the widget itself so I guess it could well be true

Yeah widgets can have tap targets on them that are just deep links into the app - they are laid over the widget content.
There is zero interactivity beyond these links. You canāt even mark a Reminder as complete from Appleās own Reminders widget, it just kicks you over to the Reminders app.

Itās such a shame
I assume itāll change and improve over time but for now thatās annoying. I didnāt use many of the old widgets but the ones I did were all interactive. Knowing those developers canāt update them to the new style is a real let down

The more I play with them, the more every-so-slightly disappointed I get in them.
Iām hoping this is just a beta thing, but a bunch of mine donāt update in a timely fashion either. For example, the Activity widget is currently (at 08:30) still showing my rings as they were when I got up at 6:00 ā and thereās no way to force an update other than opening the app for a bit and let it figure it out.
