It’s not clear if the problem is caused by the iPhone model, user’s location or other factors. The fact that some third-party widgets work out of the box and that iPhone users report different feedback for the same app, makes us conclude that a glitch is preventing the glances from being displayed straightaway in the widgets list. The new glance should show up now in the Available Widgets list. The fix is simple, if the widget is missing from the ‘Add Widgets’ section, run its app and check again. We’re not sure if this is a bug or this actually is the ‘modus operandi’, but apparently you have to open the third-party app, after you update or download it, in order to enable its widget. A series of users complained to us that widgets don’t show up in the ‘Add Widgets’ section, although the apps in question have been updated or freshly downloaded from the App Store and they’ve been marketed with compatibility for the new Home Screen widgets feature. However, third-party apps seem to have a functionality problem. Both stock and third-party applications can support widgets as long as they’re updated to the iOS 14 standards. This helps users to get glanceable info and be one-tap away from opening their favorite apps.

IOS 14 adds Home Screen widgets to any compatible iPhone.
