Widgets are updated when the app is running, otherwise only periodically throughout the day. Changes might not appear immediately because the system optimizes and restricts reloads. In case a widget is not up to date, you can also force a reload by opening the app and use pull to refresh from the library.

It can sometimes happen that widgets are not available in the Widget Gallery or don’t load content anymore and just show placeholder data. This appears to be an operating system level issue that randomly affects third-party apps. What usually helps is to restart your device.
