Strava widget not updating

Good morning, 

For the past week my iPhone Strava widget has not been updating with correct mileage. I assume this is a known issue based on what I’ve read on Reddit, but didn’t see a topic from 2024 on this topic. I’ve tried removing and re-adding the widget to no avail.

Everyone knows if you clear your data the widget works normally for a few days. What we want is an actual fix that doesn't involve needing to clear our data or reinstall the app twice a week. Even worse is if the widget has an update error it gives you a button to refresh manually. That's right, the code that would fix everything (a manual refresh button) already exists and is being forcibly withheld from us even though the issue has been prevalent since the first app version that shipped with this widget.

Your comment couldn't be less helpful.

Thank you Scout! I followed the steps and everything is now working as expected.

Got the same issue. I’m going to eat my shoe if they don’t fix this. And be warned, my shoe smells REAALLLLY bad. Next I’ll go on hunger strike, which is pretty easy because I’m fasting ramadan anyways. And after that, I’ll call the cops. And finally if that doesn’t work, I’ll sit in a corner and soak in a puddle of my own tears while I contemplate the consequences of actions that are not my own.

Peace out and don’t pay your taxes.
