Product:iOS Product Version:iOS 10.0 (14A5309d)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Sometimes
 
Area:
SpringBoard (Home Screen)

Summary:
Some apps offer multiple widgets. With iOS 10's affinity for them, they might choose to do this on purpose. I may prefer to have one used in my Today view (is it still called that?) and one in the 3D Touch menu. That way, a developer can provide widgets with cross-purposes and simpler design, like Apple does with iOS 10 widgets and is the preferred usage model for watchOS complications.

Steps to Reproduce:
I love the "Up Next" widget, so leave it in my Today view. (Is it still called that?) I don't need multiple of these, so I remove the "Calendar" widget from "Add Widgets" screen.

Expected Results:
The Calendar app shows the "Calendar" widget, or I can pick that widget in Settings in some way. I sometimes want the peek into my full day's schedule beyond the next event.

Actual Results:
The widget used by 3D Touch-activating the homescreen icon is… random. Alphabetical? inode number? Who knows.

Version:
iOS 10.0 (14A5309d)

Notes:
Another good example: I want Maps Destinations in my Widgets but Maps Nearby in 3D Touch.

If this behavior exists already, it should be more obvious for a dolt like me. ;-)

Configuration:
iPhone 6s Plus 64GB Verizon, using Wi-Fi
