      I'm using the latest Android on a pixel 6, but I believe this issue has been ongoing for some time.

      I liked having a widget that was always current— I've had those in the past, but they are just not as feature-rich as Windy. However, this widget requires specific instruction before it will update. And if I change location it requires opening the windy app. Can either of these two updates be done automatically by the widget? Is this my failure to set a setting correctly, a feature that doesn't exist, or a bug?

      Many thanks! I love the app :)

        @bwpearre Hello, I would recommend to change the battery mode to "unrestricted" in the phone settings. This should help to solve the update issue you currently have.

          @korina Many thanks! You solved it :)

          And apologies: I should have checked that first. I was sure I had already done that, but I was wrong. Or perhaps the setting got lost during a phone upgrade because Google doesn't know how to copy settings during phone upgrades? That actually seems likely... Is it possible/desirable for the widget to check for this permission and remind fools like me that we have to fix stuff?

          Fair winds!

            @bwpearre Hi, we are actually about to release a new version that will remind you when you do not have the correct widget settings turned on. :)
