[Canvas Mobile - Student] Widgets for iOS Are Limited

On Mac, Canvas widgets include a full range of options.

However, on iOS, To-Do List (is Limited, only shows a few announcements) + grades and other options do not exist when it comes to widgets.

Is this something that is being worked on or can be added to a request list?

I feel like this would be extremely valuable to students.

Thanks!

Before canvas reverted back to the older version of the To-do list, I got it to work.

Add a “New To Do” from Calendar Section and it pulled the To-do List material into the widget. If you updated the app it won’t work.
