2) Apply the wallpaper as per the method advised by Apple and your current iOS version.
3) To get the widget to show the ‘Transparent Background’, go into the Widgy app, go to the ‘Manage’ tab at the bottom then choose the option ‘Set Transparent Background’ located at the top. Choose the wallpaper you have set on your homescreen. Note: Set the same wallpaper for both the Light and Dark themed wallpaper.
4) If Widgy pops up with a message saying the wallpaper is the incorrect size, you could either ‘Try with this image anyway’ or you can take a screenshot of your home screen and use the screenshot. To do this, follow the instructions shown in the Widgy app when clicking on the ‘Transparent Background’ option.
5) Give it a few seconds for the widget to catch up, the background of the widget will change colour and match your newly applied wallpaper.
NOTES
Wallpaper Notes (If Provided)
When setting a wallpaper, Apples software for some reason has a tendency of dulling the colour of the wallpaper slightly once set. I would suggest repeating the process and setting the wallpaper twice which I have found can stop this from happening most of the time.
If the widget is a slightly different colour to the wallpaper you are using when the wallpaper wallpaler has been set correctly, then follow the instructions shown in the Widgy app to set a transparent background using the screenshot method.
Device Info / Connection Notes
If the widget has information such as Battery, Bluetooth Connection, Cellular Connection, Screen Brightness, Volume Level or Wifi Connection, the please note that Apple only allows 3rd party applications to update every 15 minutes, this means that there can be a delay in the information updating automatically. Where possible I include ‘Tap Actions’ to update this information quicker, if this is the case then please read the information for the specific widget you have purchased / downloaded.
