Hello all, I am a voiceover user and I hear a lot of sighted people talking about widgets on their lock screen. I was wondering, first of all, are they accessible with voiceover, I don’t want to add a widget on my phone and potentially screw up my phone. And secondly, what exactly is the point of them if you are a voiceover user?

The answer for if they are…
The answer for if they are accessible is "it depends". I made sure to code and test the widgets in my apps for VoiceOver support but that's up to the individual developer(s).
This video is two years old but shows how to add them.

If certain widgets aren't showing up I've found that sometimes powering the phone off/on helps.
