Widgets in iPad OS 18 Today View Issues

Since updating to iPad OS 18, widgets are a mess in Today view. Specifically, once placed, they cannot be dragged (well, maybe 1/100 tries). This means, no rearranging of order and no stacks.

Also, existing stacks are virtually useless (more so on my 10th gen but all on the 7th gen). Unless you scroll a stack within a second of sliding to the Today page, you cannot scroll the stack. It is static.

I had this problem too! I found a solution.

Restart iPad. (May or may not be necessary.)
Instead of long-pressing to get the wiggling icons, long press on the widget in Today view (while it's not moving).
You'll get the option to resize widget, edit home screen, or remove the widget.

Hope this helps!

It'd be great if Apple could let us remove Today view widgets through the small (-) button like we can on the iPhone.

Seeing this issue on my M4 11” ipad pro as well. The problem goes away if I restart the device but will eventually creep back. Super annoying.
