Prayer times widgets on iPhone: a practical guide

A prayer times widget shows the next salah and the day’s schedule at a glance. Accurate results depend on your city, calculation method and location settings.

Location or manual city

Location can detect your city and time zone automatically. You can also select a city manually and keep location access disabled.

Understand small differences

Apps may differ by a few minutes when they use different calculation methods or adjustments.

  • Check the city and time zone.
  • Use the method followed locally.
  • Apply manual offsets only when needed.

Choose a useful format

The Lock Screen is ideal for the next prayer and a countdown. A medium Home Screen widget can show the full daily schedule.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why does the widget ask me to open the app?

DeenKit needs to prepare your city and schedule once. Open the app, verify the city and return to the widget.

Can it work without permanent location access?

Yes. A manually selected city is sufficient.
