With the launch of iOS 17, Apple introduced a highly anticipated feature: interactive widgets. While not all developers have released their own widgets, some have seized the opportunity. One such app is WidgetBeats, which provides an interactive widget for controlling Apple Music.
Nikias Molina, an Instagram user, showcased WidgetBeats in a reel on his account. The app offers a free version, with a more comprehensive paid version available as well. The widget can be added in two different sizes and displays the song title, artist, and controls for pausing, resuming, skipping to the next song, or returning to the previous one.
WidgetBeats is available for download on the App Store, with in-app purchases. For a single payment of 2.99 euros, users can unlock all the features of the application. While currently only compatible with Apple Music, the app promises a Spotify option in the near future.
To add WidgetBeats to the home page, users simply need to link their Apple Music account and follow these steps:
1. Press and hold any app until a “+” sign appears at the top left.
2. Tap the “+” sign and search for “WidgetBeats.”
3. Select “Add” to add the widget.
The app offers an interactive widget that allows users to control Apple Music. Although it may sometimes be a bit challenging, the overall experience is well-executed. Moreover, since the app is free, it’s worth trying to see if it meets one’s requirements.
