Issue with Lock Screen Widgets Not Responding on iOS 17

Hello Apple Community,

I've been encountering a persistent issue with my device since the release of iOS 16. Whenever I attempt to add widgets to my lock screen, they become unresponsive. Despite trying various troubleshooting steps, including restarting the device, hard resetting it, fully cleaning the phone, and even reinstalling iOS via my laptop, none of these methods have provided a permanent solution.

It's frustrating to continually face this problem, especially considering the inconvenience of having to restart the device each time to regain functionality with lock screen widgets.

If anyone else has experienced similar issues or has any additional insights or solutions to offer, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you for your time and support.

MK...

iPhone 13, iOS 17

some widgets are not working on Home Screen. Some are. I’ve deleted the problematic ones and reinstalled them, to no avail. This started with the most recent update in the past week. Links are broken somewhere.

Your post raises a bit of ambiguity regarding whether the issue pertains to a specific Lock Screen Widget or if it extends to all Widgets on your iPhone. To provide more accurate assistance, could you please clarify this aspect in your description?


Additionally, if you're facing unresponsiveness with a particular widget when your iPhone is locked, it might be worthwhile to troubleshoot by removing and then re-adding the affected widget.
