A widget looks out of date

Widgets refresh when BeHabit updates them, and the system decides how often that happens.

It shows sample habits

Widgets are part of Premium. Without it, a widget shows a preview with sample habits instead of yours. Go Premium, or restore your purchase if you already have it.

“Open BeHabit to refresh”

A widget says this when it’s still showing a previous day. Open the app once and it catches up. On Android, tapping such a widget opens the app.

Refresh them yourself

Settings › Widgets › Refresh widgets pushes the latest data to every widget.

Ticking from a widget doesn’t work

• On iPhone, ticking habits from a widget needs iOS 17 or later. On earlier versions, tapping a widget opens the app.
• A widget tap marks the whole day done or undone. To log part of a count, use the app: see Log counts, amounts and timed habits. Ticked by mistake? Change or undo a check-in.

The wrong habit is showing

Habit widgets show a featured slot. Choose the habit for each slot in Settings › Widgets › Featured habits, or edit the widget and change Featured habit.

If a widget still looks stuck, remove it and add it again, as in Add a Home Screen widget.
