Swift ui widget list of items that take up too much space - swift

Question

As you can see from the image I have a widget with a series of elements, I have to put at the end of the series of elements then the word Next update which must find some at the end of the widget.
The problem is:
if there are few elements, Next update is too high.
if there are many elements the Next update message is not shown.
Can you give me a hand?
P.s.
If you think it should be written differently let me know, thank you in advance.

The approach you need is to separate "labels to be always on screen" and "growing list", schematically it should be like
VStack {
Text("Header label")
Spacer()
Text("Footer label")
}
.background(
VStack {
Text("Header label").opacity(0) // for content offset
// or constant height spacer
ForEach ... // list here
}
}
