@MarkNagy Solved it!
At some point I started receiving error notifications about a nonexistent windy widget.
I cleared windy data and uninstalled/reinstalled it. It works now.
Thanks for helping!

@MarkNagy I've got the android logs available if that helps

@MarkNagy windy has full permissions and unrestricted battery access already. The app itself works as expected.
Just to be clear this is the screen I'm stuck with.

I can change brightness and text size, but I can't click anything else, including the button 'Add Widget'. After about 15 secs I'm forcibly returned to home screen, which I assume is some form of crash.

Hi, I'm also having issues with the widgets on Pixel 8. Can't even set them up, the settings screen is unresponsive and then just crashes.
Let me know if I can help solving it.
