<![CDATA[Widget not updating]]>The widget doesn't update automatically on my Samsung S20FE.
I need to refresh the widget manually.
I think it has something to do with Samsung who only grants authorization when the app is being used.
But that wasn't the case a few months ago or on my previous Samsung phone.

Also, does the app show the same values?

Currently it’s showing 3 deg off, which is acceptable. Why would it have been so far off?

It's asking for battery permissions that I can't seem to grant and the widget refuses to update. I got the phone last week I'm certain I have the latest versions

All users should have the access to the new version by the end of this week.

I am using Samsung S23 Ultra, Android Version 14, Windy updated to latest version, all permissions set and checked as described above. However, the widget remains blank.

Is it possible that you are using certain optimalization apps in the background? We don't know about any other reasons why you should have issues with widgets.

Same issue as all of the above contrubutors going back over a year and affecting many premium android brands.What's the fix windy ??
Widget does not update and settings menu is unresponsive. All settings checked correct. I have used windy almost since its inception to obtaining aviation weather and it needs to work seamlessly for me, otherwise it going to the recycle bin with an accompanying request for the return of my upgrade fee.

I didn't test all the versions between that one and the latest, but just looked at the comments here and in the Google play store to see roughly when they were broken. There doesn't appear to be any discernable difference between 39.1.4 and 39.3.2, so I guess I'll stick with the older version since it works.

These issues should be mainly solved in the last version.

It should solve all issues with bad communication of widgets, more info here.

What helped me though and seemed to be the missing step was unchecking the "Remove permission if app is unused" checkbox under the app info (long press the widget, then hit "i" to get there). Since I unchecked this, the widget update notification disappeared and the widget is updated regularly.
