<![CDATA[Widget not auto-updating]]>Hi, thanks for fixing the widget location bug with the last release, but now the widgets are not updating on their own and must have the refresh icon tapped to do so. Please let me know if there is more info you need or anything you would like me to try.

Current version: 27.1.2 built 2020-10-21 14:40
Device: Note20 Ultra

Only option seems to be 'when using the app'. Is the a fix in the works for this? Would be great as it seems to be affecting a lot of devices. thanks and love your work guys :)

Allow only while using the app
Ask every time
Don't allow

There is no "all the time" permission on my s22.

The app needs to request this all the time permission.
