Hi, it’s Julie, back again~ (-ω-) This time, we finally made it — the [Transparent Widget] is here. Yes, it actually works. (Endless thanks to Andy for the nonstop effort.) Now you can use images with transparent backgrounds in PhotoWidget — like cut-out idol photos or cute little objects — and place them on your Home Screen without any widget background color, so everything looks clean and truly transparent. I’ve already made a bunch of cute widgets with this, and I’ll be adding lots of them to the [Discover] tab. We also tweaked a few screens so saving widgets, icons, and wallpapers feels smoother and doesn’t break your flow. PhotoWidget is still doing its best to help you decorate your iPhone and iPad easily, comfortably, and nicely. January in Korea is seriously cold. People say it’s colder than Russia… and honestly, I believe it (›´ω`‹ ) This week’s lowest “feels like” temperature is (yes, really) minus 23°C. It’s so cold it almost makes me want to cry. Even as I’m writing this, my fingers are freezing. Please send help (›´ω`‹ )..!!! If you’re living through winter like me, stay warm and be careful not to catch a cold. And if you’re on the other side of the planet enjoying warm weather, remember to drink lots of water (important) and don’t let the heat wear you out. I’ll be back with the next update. Until then, let’s all try not to freeze solid (°ロ°) !

Hi everyone, it’s Julie, back right on update day. And wow… it’s already the start of 2026 (›´ω`‹ ) Even if I don’t love getting older, time doesn’t really wait for us, so I’m trying to take it as it comes. Wishing all our PhotoWidget friends a healthy, happy New Year with lots of good energy. For our first update of 2026, this one’s mostly about bug fixes (;´Д`) We fixed an issue where your widgets weren’t showing up on My Page, and also resolved a problem where the LINE Music app wouldn’t open in Japan. On top of that, we went through a bunch of smaller issues—calendar widget font size not adjusting, wallpaper editing problems, broken zodiac widgets, and more—and cleaned things up so everything works properly again. Lots of digging through code to make things behave. I used to really dislike cold winters. But lately, I’ve been trying to think, “Winter should feel like winter,” and somehow it doesn’t bother me as much. In fact, knowing that the sharp, clear cold air will fade in a month or two almost makes me feel a little… nostalgic already. (Yes, this is probably what getting older feels like—when passing time starts to feel precious.) You might be thinking, “Where did that come from?” (-ω-)ゝ I guess while sharing PhotoWidget updates, I ended up sharing a bit of how I’ve been lately too. Alright, back to work for me (¬‿¬) Please drink plenty of water (this is important), take good care of yourselves this January, and have a healthy start to the year. If you’ve set New Year’s goals, I hope you stick with them. If not, it’s not too late—maybe take this week to think about what you’d like to try. I’ll be back with the next update (´∀`)!

Hi everyone,, It’s Julie stopping by right before Christmas. I’m feeling a bit sad today because the transparent widget update didn’t work out… (still trying!) A few bugs piled up all at once, so that made it even sadder. Some of you might notice that your widgets are working fine, but the widget album isn’t showing up on My Page (even though the number of widgets is still there). Don’t worry — it’s not deleted. It’s just temporarily not visible, so please wait a little longer… (›´ω`‹ ) Now then, some good news. Various widgets and wallpapers are being updated, and quite a lot of free content has been added for you. That said, I’ve also heard from many of you that watching ads is difficult because of Screen Time. Ah… what should we do… The world is cold, and if we can’t make any money, PhotoWidget could actually be in danger… So removing ads isn’t easy at all. But I’ll keep thinking and try to come up with a better solution. 2025 is really, truly disappearing now. And somehow, my youth seems to be disappearing along with it!!! This is bad. A real crisis. Since Christmas is slowly coming to an end this week, try switching to a New Year D-day widget and start counting down. Take a moment to look back on what kind of year 2025 was, make a list of things you want to finish before the year ends, and turn it into a to-do widget too. Hehe. With only a little bit of 2025 left, let’s all stay healthy, avoid catching colds, and wrap up the year gently together. I’ll see you again in 2026, one year older (；´Д｀)ゞ See you again in January.

Hi! Julie’s back again. We packed so much into this update. You’ll notice it right from the first screen — the home colors got a sneaky little glow-up, and all your fave phone-deco items are now split into Recommended and Popular. And yep… that means the old Store menu quietly slipped into hiding, and now you can check everything from Discover in one place. Search also got way stronger, so it should feel a lot smoother now. I also added new fluffy-style wallpapers because I’ve been really into them lately. (Right after cute animal photos, they’re totally my fave.) Hope you guys like them too (´∀`)b Oh, and about transparent widgets… I really tried to make them happen this time but ended up missing it. I think I’ll finally get it to work in the next update. It was so close, but something just didn’t come together at the end. Sad… BUT YES, TRANSPARENT WIDGETS ARE STILL COMING! And if it somehow doesn’t work again… I might owe you an apology for getting excited too early (›´ω`‹ ) Also! Korea had its first big snowfall in the first week of December. If you’re here too, did you get to enjoy it? My commute turned into an ice path, so I was a little sad… (very office-worker behavior, I know?) Depending on where you are, it might be winter like me — or you could be in full-on summer on the opposite side of the world. But honestly, December feels exciting everywhere with Christmas and the year-end vibes coming up. Whatever season you're in, I hope you keep decorating your phone with Photowidget. I’ll see you again in the next update. Until then, let’s both stay healthy, happy, and have a good time. Okay, that’s all for now, byebye~~ (-ω-)ゝ

Hey everyone.. it’s Julie, the long-time PhotoWidget veteran dropping in again (›´ω`‹ ) Can you believe November is already almost over? The fact that 2025 is just one month away… and that we’re all leveling up in age again… unreal. You know how it goes — life is basically a roll of toilet paper; the more you use it, the faster it disappears… and mine is rolling way too fast… Anyway! You’ve got winter break coming, Christmas on the way, and all that good year-end energy, so I put a lot of love into this update for you. Here’s what’s new~~ On your Home screen, tap the Refresh button at the bottom right, or just pull down, and boom — the curation switches up instantly. I wanted to make it easier and smoother for you to browse lots of different content. Hope it hits the spot (´∀`)b On top of that, we went in and chewed through a bunch of tiny bugs. All cleaned up now~ Oh! And please don’t miss this: Angyeongmandu’s Mandoo Angel limited-edition merch is on pre-order until this Sunday. If you’re curious, just hop into the Store tab — it’s the third one at the bottom! Alright everyone, stay warm, don’t catch a cold, and I’ll see you in the next update (-ω-)ゝ

Update on August 27, 2025 (๑ơ ₃ ơ) As summer break comes to an end, we’re here with a more convenient icon editing experience! (ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) This update focuses on making the icon customization screen and saving flow much easier to use. ◆ It’s now much easier to link icons with apps If you’ve ever felt confused about which icon is linked to which app, you can now check and select everything more clearly and intuitively! (´∀`)b ◆ No more losing albums when you exit without saving You’ll now be reminded to save your work before exiting, so you won’t lose your creations by accident anymore. ◆ We’ve fixed the issue where unselected icons disappeared If icons disappeared just because they weren’t selected during editing, don’t worry—those will now be preserved automatically. ⊙_⊙ ◆ It’s now easier for first-time users, too Even if it’s your first time customizing icons, you’ll find it much simpler to understand and use! With this update, PhotoWidget is even more fun to personalize. We hope you enjoy the improvements :) Our team is working hard every day to make PhotoWidget simpler and easier to use.

sigh… Another typical day at PhotoWidget, where issues never disappear. I’ve been chewing on code, tearing it apart, savoring, crunching, grinding it into dust... Just uploaded a new version — time to catch a few hours of sleep… zZZ

In the midsummer of August, today is the day ‘Explorer’ gets a fresh new look as ‘Discover’! ◆ A more intuitive name! Our former ‘Explorer’ tab is now called ‘Discover’. Just by the name, you can instantly tell what it’s for (ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) ◆ Menus and screens, easier to navigate We’ve reorganized menu locations and screen structure. It’s now easier to find what you want and get straight to the info you need (≧◡≦) ◆ A prettier design upgrade The Discover screen has been refreshed to look cleaner and more stylish. Browsing is now more fun and enjoyable than ever (๑ơ ₃ ơ) We’re always working hard to bring you a better experience. If you have any feedback or questions, please contact us at help@photowidget.net or via the Help Center in the app.

Ahh every time we try to fix just one thing, more bugs show up (›´ω`‹ )????????? Like seriously—what is this even?! Hahaha But I believe that smiling when it's tough is the pro move, so here we go fixing things with a smile. Laughing through the chaos! Dreaming of a bug-free world, here’s today’s update~~~ Next time, it won’t be bug fixes. We’re planning a real feature update.. Thank you so much for always checking in and cheering us on through App Store reviews, DMs, and everywhere else. We’ll be the PhotoWidget team that doesn’t get defeated by bugs. Love you all and thank you so much (-ω-)ゝ

This update is quiet, but still meaningful. ◆ Unified high-resolution saving when editing wallpapers Saving wallpapers was fine before, but when you edited and saved them, resolution could vary by device. Now it’s unified — you’ll get consistent, higher quality saves (´▽`) ◆ Small bug fixes We also cleaned up a few small issues hiding around the app. If you notice anything that makes you go “Hmm? That’s odd,” please let us know at help@photowidget.net or through the in-app Help Center. We carefully check every piece of feedback (›´ω`‹ )

This time there are no big visible changes. Instead, we carefully “bit” into the code, piece by piece, to make everything inside more solid and smoother. You may not notice it right away, but these small refinements add up to a more stable app (´▽`) If you notice something strange or think “Hmm? That’s odd,” please let us know at help@photowidget.net or through the in-app Help Center. We check every piece of feedback carefully (›´ω`‹ )

The rainy season is over and the summer sun is shining strong. How have you been? ◆ Titles in Home are now fully visible Until now, titles in the Home screen were cut off, but now you can finally see them completely. We’re so sorry to everyone who found this frustrating (›´ω`‹ ) ◆ Ad optimization + small bug fixes We’ve optimized how ads work to make them smoother and also cleaned up some small bugs hidden in the app. If you notice anything strange or think “Hmm? That seems off,” please let us know at help@photowidget.net or through the in-app Help Center. We’re carefully looking at every piece of feedback (´▽`)
