# My widget isn't updating

Open Cami. Widgets show what Cami on this iPhone last saved, and iOS limits how often they refresh in the background. Opening Cami brings them up to date.

## What the widget says

| The widget says                                      | What it means                                                             | What to do                                 |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Not updated in a while** or **Not updated**        | Cami on this iPhone has not refreshed the widget for more than 12 hours.  | Open Cami.                                 |
| **No data on this phone yet**                        | Cami has not saved anything for widgets on this iPhone.                   | Open Cami and make sure you are signed in. |
| **Touch and hold to choose a child** or **No child** | The widget’s child is no longer in your family, or there is no child yet. | Edit the widget and choose a child.        |
| **Nothing logged in a while** or **Quiet**           | Nothing was logged for this child in the last 12 hours.                   | Log something, and the times come back.    |

## The times are old, but no message shows

- **Your partner logged it:** the widget learns about your partner’s entries through Cami on this iPhone. Open Cami, and the widget catches up.
- **A diaper or pump row went missing:** those rows hide after 8 hours, and a feed or sleep row after 12 hours, because a time that old usually means an entry nobody logged.
- **Wrong child:** edit the widget and choose the baby. On the Home Screen, touch and hold it and tap **Edit Widget**. On the Lock Screen, tap it while you customize the Lock Screen.

If the entry is also missing inside Cami, see [An entry is missing on the other phone](https://camibaby.com/help/entry-missing-on-other-phone).
