Hello, I have what I hope is not construed as a stupid question. I have not messed with widgets with reference to Apple. The only relationship I have to widgets are with my Nexus seven android tablet. What is a widget within the Apple operating system.

You'll have to use the Widget menu to open any new widgets. Once you have a widget open, you have to treat it like a webpage. It is HTML content, so interacting is necessary. Take Care John D.
