There could be several reasons why your widgets are not showing up in Widgetsmith. Let’s go through some troubleshooting steps to help you figure out the issue:
1. Check if you accidentally deleted the widget: It’s possible that you may have deleted the widget you configured in Widgetsmith. To check this, go to your home screen, find the widget you set up using Widgetsmith, and hard press on it. From the options that appear, select “Edit Widget.” If the widget was accidentally deleted, you will be able to choose a new widget from the list of widget options. Simply press the blue word to select a new widget.
2. Verify that the widget is properly configured: Double-check your Widgetsmith settings to ensure that the widget is configured correctly. Open the Widgetsmith app and select the widget you want to use. Make sure you have chosen the correct size and style for the widget. You can also customize the appearance, data source, and refresh interval according to your preferences.
3. Ensure that Widgetsmith has the necessary permissions: Widgets in iOS require certain permissions to function properly. To check if Widgetsmith has the necessary permissions, go to your iPhone’s Settings, scroll down and select “Widgetsmith.” Ensure that permissions for accessing Photos, Calendar, and other relevant apps are enabled. If any permissions are disabled, toggle them on.
4. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor glitches or issues. Try restarting your iPhone and see if the widgets start appearing in Widgetsmith afterward.
5. Check if there are any conflicting settings or apps: Certain settings or apps on your iPhone may interfere with the functionality of Widgetsmith. For example, if you have enabled the “Reduce Motion” setting, it can affect the animation of widgets. Similarly, some battery-saving or performance-enhancing apps may restrict the functionality of widgets. Consider disabling or adjusting such settings or apps to see if it resolves the issue.
6. Update Widgetsmith and iOS: Ensure that both Widgetsmith and your iOS version are up to date. App updates often include bug fixes and improvements, which can help resolve issues with widget display.
If you have tried all these troubleshooting steps and the widgets still don’t show up in Widgetsmith, it may be worth reaching out to the app’s support team for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your device and configuration.
