widgets not showing after factory reset + restore from backup

After factory resetting and restoring my phone from backup, widgets do not show. In place of a working widget, it says "getting widget ready" indefinitely. I tried restarting phone and reinstalling app to no avail

Okay figured this out: it was happening if you had your current location set as the default but didn’t give app permission to check location all the time… so I imagine this applied to you. Even if not exactly, the fix is broad enough to hopefully sort your issue out. 2.0.31 is on the way with the proposed fix. Please verify when you’re on it. Thanks, and sorry again.

If I’m right, should add if you care to have your location up-to-date when on the move and not in the app, then please consider giving the app permission to check location all the time. Otherwise, it won’t update in the background.

I changed the permission and it worked! Thank you for looking into this

Great, thanks for confirming. 2.0.31 is out too now, with a fix, so you don’t need to have this permission (still recommended), plus some other improvements/fixes... as always :)

Okay, I do have a couple of questions: were they working fine previously, and, if they were, did they stop working after the last update?

The widget (I was using the 1x1) had been working fine until I reset my phone and restored from backup. There may have been an update at that time as well, if I remember correctly. I reset my phone this past Sunday

Thank you, looking forward to the issue being resolved. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Another person has reported similar, so I’m beginning to think this is not phone specific. I’ll fully investigate this first thing tomorrow for an urgent hot fix.

Hmm so weird. Has your subscription restored successfully? I think it’s best if I provide assistance via email for an isolated issue like this one: Bardi.golriz@gmail.com.
