ANNOYING WIDGETS AND STACKS

The Widgets and Stacks reappear EVERY TIME I reboot my iPad. (Yes, the iOS is up to date.) I delete them and rearrange my iPad icons how I like them. But then the next time I reboot, or even just turn off the iPad and turn back on the next day, the annoying Widgets and Stacks are back, having messed up everything again. I then have to delete Widgets and Stacks and rearrange all icons again. How do I keep Widgets and Stacks from reappearing on my iPad EVERY TIME I turn it off and back on? I do not want them on my iPad!

iPad (6th generation)

Hello jgwm,

If the layout is still not maintaining your settings then you'll want to contact Apple and report the issue.

You can connect with their technical support here: Get Support

Cheers!

Hello jgwm,

Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We see you want to permanently remove widgets from your Home Screen layout. Try the steps below. They should resolve the issue.

Reset the Home Screen Layout:

Go Here: Move Apps and Widgets on the Home Screen on iPad - Apple Support
Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and apps to their original layout
Proceed from there as necessary

We hope this helps.

Thank you, but this doesn’t help. I know how to move my apps to where I want them on my iPad, and how to delete the widgets and stacks. The problem is that every time I restart my iPad the widgets and stacks come back, and my apps are moved/messed up yet again. Very frustrating!
