Widgets are not updated

Location in Contacts widgets doesn't update if I don't open the widget itself or if I don't open Find Me. For example, the Find Me widget updates, but the Contacts widget shows a location from hours ago. Because I have two separate Contacts widgets, quite often both show different locations. To correct and update the location, I have to open the Find Me app or the contact widget itself, and then the correct location is already displayed. Is this normal or is there a problem?

I also reset the phone. But the problem is also there on 14 plus. It's not just the iPhone 16.

I have posted a very similar issue and yet had any explanation or solution. For me, neither the contact widget nor the Find Me widget would show the location of one specific contact but Find My app works just fine. And I only have this issue on my iPhone 16. I have the same widgets setup on my other iPhone, my iPad, and my Mac. They all work as intended, so I know the problem isn’t with the contact but rather with widgets on iPhone 16. Recently I also noticed other widgets not updating on the iPhone 16, while they work perfectly on my other devices. I have already completely reset my phone and set up my everything from scratch. That didn’t fix anything at all. I have a feeling it might be a bug specific to iOS 18 on iPhone 16 series. Although that makes little sense, it seems to be the only logical explanation.
