There's now a tiny little picture of my gmail at the top left of my desktop. I'm guessing this is an accidentally created, so-called "widget". When I click on it, it disappears into a shadowy line on the left side of my screen. It is not being helpful. :-(
I searched through all the "options" listed on it but can't find one to make it go away. Information appreciated!

It would be easier to identify, if you included a screen shot.?

It's a widget. I'd rather not reveal my personal info. It's just a teeny weeny pic of what I normally see when I open gmail. But it's def a widget. It has an option to "edit widgets," but that doesn't go anywhere useful.?
I just need to know how to delete a widget. I can google that.

It's a mess. It seems to be getting these from my iPhone. There's a barometer app shown under "edit widgets" (which I have only on my phone) etc. The gmail pic comes up every time I open safari, and won't go away. And it's not listed in the "edit widget" list so I can't click the minus sign to delete it.?

Fine googe it.?
FYI, you can take a screenshot of just apart of your Desktop, by using the shortcut shift, control, 4, then defining the area you want with the crosshairs and clicking.

What device is this on, your Mac or your iPhone? I can see from here. What OS are you using? What app are you in when the widget shows up?
I’m leaving for a doctor’s appointment. I will check to see if you have a solution when I get back.
On a Mac, you can squeeze the screenshot down to 2 pixels, and you can mask it with other apps.

That's the problem. It's showing up on my Mac (running Sonoma 14.1.1) but when I right-click on it and select "edit widgets," the choices are coming from my iPhone. I see a number of people complaining online that they can't remove widgets in sonoma. The instructions I've found say to right-click and select "delete" but there's no delete option.

Sonoma is a just released OS. If it comes up, again, I would suggest calling Apple. You get free support with a new install. This sounds like a bug. I am running an OS, four OS behind Sonoma

I thought it was clear I was Sonoma since this is about widgets.

How was it clear? You mentioned no OS or hardware, and widgets have been out for about 15 years. Sonoma was released September 2023, and you are only on the second incremental update.

I’d already seen the other messages about 14.2. Don’t know where they’re even getting 14.2. ?

It was just released a few days ago. ?Apple doesn’t release it to everyone at once, to prevent overloading servers. ?Keep checking. |
