Widgets don't work in iOS 10 Public Beta

[neoelectronaut]

Is this a known thing? None of my widget seems to be working...from Weather to News to anything else.

Mine are ok

Reboot your handset. This happens to me sometimes and a reboot always fixes it, albeit temporarily.

Same here, it happens to me after restarting my phone

Seems like it takes a while to refresh and populate the widgets - some do for me (eg Weather, Notes, Mail, Reminders), others don't - but was working on beta 1. A reboot every now and again might be useful - your handset on beta 2 is crashing springboard et al enough ti'd imagine

How did you get weather in your widgets? I can't seem to locate it, but at the bottom of the screen it says "weather information provided by The Weather Channel, LLC". I'm using my iPad Mini 3. Do I have to download The Weather Channel's app?

I decided to see if downloading the app would work, at first it didn't and I deleted it. But now the information shows on the screen as it should. Odd.

You must delete all widgets, then reboot phone and then add widgets.

By "delete", he means remove the widgets restart phone then re add them. Always worked for me.

Removing all widgets, restarting, and re-adding the widgets worked for me. Bug reported.

If had no issues since installing on dat one with widgets (knock on wood).

It's happened to me before too. They're back now though.

It's a known issue. Sometimes they display a blank screen.

I've got a more or less useful workaround. You just have to change the phone language and the widgets are working again. I think it is easier than delete widgets and restart .

None of the solutions above fix the parked car and upcoming destinations widget for me.

It worked fine in beta 1 and initially on beta 2. However it has been hit and miss since Thursday last week.

It definitely seems intermittent. The calendar widget worked this morning, but my weather one (Weather Underground) didn't. Now they both work. No restart or language changing. Weird.

Nice tip. It's happened to me a few times on my phone (though curiously not my iPad) and this is much easier than deleting and restarting.
