Does this widget notification on the lock screen mean the topic was searched or is it a suggested search topic?

Any idea how often it changes the information?
I've always liked the Tips app and suggested it to others but have never figured out an 'update' period. Just check it once and awhile. As K-Bomb said above, its a great source of info and also reminds you of 'tricks' you may have known but forgotten from lack of use. Thanks for reminding me that there's a 'widget' for it👌!

If I recall correctly, the Tips are updated when new features/functionality are added via software updates.
For example, I just enabled the widget yesterday and it says "learn how to use control center". Will that be be the only tip suggested on the widget until a new update? I was hoping it would cycle daily or possibly when I tap on it and read about the tip..

I can't say for sure as I don't use it but I would assume it would update somewhat regularly as having only one topic display would defeat the purpose IMO.
