Widgets are updated when the app is running in the background, 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 or shows placeholder data, you can also force a reload by opening the app and pull to refresh from the library or refresh all widgets from the settings.
