Am I missing something or does the Clock widget only show Cupertino and not the clock I have set or my local time?

Edit
Ok scratch that. I had to change the city within the widget itself not the clock app.

Anyone else seeing the Smart Stack widget being cut off when not highlighted...

It suddenly stopped chopping it and is now fine. Was like above for a good 10 minutes.

Also, why is the row of dots at the bottom of the screen taking up so much verticals space? They need to be moved down closer to the bottom menu bar like in iOS13

That “screen dot row” is actually vertically centred between the last row of apps on that screen and the dock.

I understand why they went this way, but it makes it stand out more on a non-full Home Screen.

Actually I don’t understand why they did it the way they did. They compressed the vertical distance between icons and then just wasted the additional space by putting the button higher up from the bottom bar.

If they wanted things equidistant, they should have just left the dots where they were and spread the icons out vertically to match the distance.

Right now it’s just looks awkward with the row of dots with so much wasted space around it and then all your icons more compressed together.

I'm not gonna lie, I hate the massive gap between the dock and bottom row of icons. I think it just looks dreadful. Honestly there's almost enough room for another row of icons in there.

I've sent a feedback ticket on it.

Gotcha. It will be a long while, if I ever install Chrome on any of my devices, so I will need to wait until other browsers are supported with this feature. Prolly after iOS 14 is official.

It is funny, Google has forked WebKit over to their own Blink engine with desktop. I have the Brave browser installed on my MacBook Pro, and Brave is based on Chromium and has adopted the Blink engine, yet iOS still requires all browsers to use the built in WebKit engine. For now I don’t see the big advantage besides bookmark and history synchronization with the desktop.
