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.
