This is the iOS power efficiency logic at work. Apps can schedule background tasks every 30 minutes to update their widgets, but they have like 30s of processing time to finish syncing.
But other things come into play: if the app was not launched for a while, iOS schedules the tasks less and less often. Same thing happens if low power mode is used or if memory is needed for other apps.
- toast0 4y agoCan apps update the widgets when processing push notifications, in cases where they're allowed to run in response to pushes?
- alin23 4y agoYes, they can. But the same 30s limit applies, they're not allowed to do a lot of work when being launched in the background.

- counttheforks 4y agoMeanwhile the purpose of widgets is that you dont have to open the app. So apple prevents successful widgets from working once you're used to them. Doomed to fail.
