let’s see your widgets

Ohhhh. I haven't seen an iPad screen on here! I'll have to post mine.

I started such a thread a month or so ago - not many posts though as phone art seems more popular and creative with iOS 14. I started the thread called 'iPad Screenshots' on the 13th of Jan, this year. It's in Apple Services Software section, showing a few posts only.

Chrome no doubt.

The 'privilege' to inhibit the screen naming would be a nice perk with paid apps (ad-free) but I'm not holding my breath.

For purely selfish reasons, I don't know if I completely agree! I have benefitted from the screen naming because when I really like a widget on screenshots posted here, being able to see the name of the widget has been very helpful!

I understand yes, but if a choice was available I'd use it to inhibit them for cosmetic reasons. It actually took me awhile to notice it 'missing' on iPad - shhhhhh- but the appearance is less cluttered. Sort of like very prominent 'designer branding' on clothing. Is that still the 'in vogue' thing? I really don't know

And that's what developers count on. People see, people do.

This is an iOS restriction, similar to all app icons having their app name under them. The widget app developers have no control over the matter, and cannot choose to hide their name.
Here's what the Widgetsmith developer, David Smith, said on Twitter:

Maybe another 'more stylish' Clock which will keep running.
