iOS schedules widget updates. A temporary delay does not always indicate an app failure, but a persistently blank widget needs configuration checks.

Checks to make

  1. Open diClock and confirm that the saved list on World Clock contains the cities you want.
  2. For the small World Clock widget, edit the widget. Enable Show first city, or turn it off and choose a valid Select city value.
  3. Check the widget type: Two Cities and City List use the first two and first five saved cities; Two Locations and World Clock List include Local Time. Use More > Sort and Delete to change the saved order.
  4. Return to the Home Screen and allow time for iOS to request a new widget timeline.
  5. Remove and add the widget again if it remains blank.
  6. Restart the device after an iOS update if several unrelated widgets are also affected.

What the result tells you

  • Low Power Mode and system resource management can reduce update frequency.
  • Force-quitting apps repeatedly does not force continuous widget refresh.
  • If the app shows correct clocks but one widget is blank, the saved widget configuration is the more likely cause.
  • If a widget needs saved cities and the list is empty, add cities in the app first.
  • For Contact Time, open the planner and select at least two cities.
  • If only weather is missing, open the app and pull down on the city list to refresh weather. Widgets use weather cached by the app and do not fetch it independently.

Before trying again

  • Keep iOS and diClock current.
  • Tap Now in the app if you were exploring another time. Clock widgets use their own current timeline, so a manually selected comparison time in the app will not match them.
