We all know the feeling of racing through the airport with one hand on our luggage, and the other holding a coffee, passport, cell phone, child’s hand, or all the above. Thankfully, TripIt has introduced a series of widgets for iOS to help you better anticipate what comes next when you’re on the go.
And there’s even more good news: the TripIt home screen widget for iPhone and iPad is now interactive.
With iOS 17, you can easily glance through plans in your trip from the medium home screen widget. Simply tap the up and down arrows in the widget to see previous and upcoming plans in your itinerary. To go back to your current plan, tap the return arrow. Tap the suitcase to view the trip timeline in the app.
Want to try the new TripIt widget interactivity? First, be sure your app is updated to the latest version of TripIt, and your iPhone is updated to iOS 17 or your iPad to iPadOS 17. Then, add the medium widget to your home screen.
What are the TripIt widgets available for iOS?
There are three TripIt widgets for iOS: the medium home screen widget, the small home screen widget, and the Lock Screen widget.
Medium and small widgets for iOS
The medium widget for iOS was designed to present links to the most relevant feature at any point in your trip, based on where you are or what you’re doing. With the medium widget, you can see enhanced trip details right on your Home Screen, plus links to helpful TripIt features such as Nearby Places for cafes or gas stations and Navigator to get directions to the next location in your itinerary. And with iOS 17, you can view previous and upcoming plans in your itinerary right within the medium widget.
Want just a quick view of your upcoming travel plans and/or a shortcut into the app? The small widget for your Home Screen is perfect for you.
Lock Screen widget for iOS
With the TripIt Lock Screen widget for iOS, you can easily glance down at your iPhone for the most relevant details for your upcoming trip or activity—without having to unlock it. It shows you the information you need most, the moment you need it, by displaying dynamic details that update throughout your trip.
Such as your:
- Upcoming trip or plan, whether it’s a flight, train, rental car, hotel, restaurant, or stop on your road trip.
- Relevant flight information, including the flight number and departure time, arrival countdown, plus gate number when available.
- Post-landing details, whether that’s a rental car reservation or hotel booking details.
Need more information? No problem. With a simple tap on the Lock Screen widget, we’ll take you to the TripIt app, where you can view your full itinerary.
