Hi there! I understand your Airbuds Widget's Lock Screen widget isn't working on your iPhone with iOS 18.7. Let's work through this together.
First, can you tell me a bit more about what's happening? For example: - Does the widget not show up at all on the lock screen, or is it blank/unclickable? - Have you tried restarting the phone or removing and re-adding the widget already?
Meanwhile, some common checks for this issue on iOS include:
1. Restart your iPhone: A quick reboot often resolves widget display glitches. 2. Check Widget Permissions: - Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode). - Enter your passcode and scroll down to Allow Access When Locked. - Make sure Today View and Search is toggled on to allow widgets on the lock screen. 3. Remove and Re-add the Widget: - On the lock screen, long-press anywhere, tap Customize. - Remove the Airbuds widget. - Add it back again by tapping the plus (+) and selecting Airbuds. 4. Update or Reinstall the App: - Check if there’s an app update in the App Store. - If the problem continues, try deleting and reinstalling the Airbuds Widget app. 5. Check for Known iOS Widget Bugs: - Some users report widgets going blank after updates and a reboot fixes this temporarily. - There might be some refresh delays on iOS, so waiting a few minutes on the lock screen after re-adding the widget might help.
If you’ve already done some of these, please let me know which ones, and we can go deeper into settings or possible app-specific fixes.
Are you able to see any error messages or is it just not appearing? That will help me tailor the next steps.
