Today Widget missing in iOS 18

1

Not sure where to report this.

I have a Bond Bridge that controls a ceiling fan. I used to be able to control it via a Widget enabled from the Bond app.

After updating my phone to iOS 18 the widget is no longer there. I made sure that the widget is still enabled in the Bond app. The widget is not there and I cannot add it back. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app, and reenabling the widget setting.

Thanks

@endy / @guy - is this a known issue?

iOS 18 removed legacy “Today” view widgets, so Bond needs to add support for the new style widgets.

It is true. This requires a complete re-build of the widgets, and we are looking at building something before the year is out. Stay tuned. And sorry if you lost useful functionality. We did not get much heads up on this one.

Test Flight is asking for an Invitation Code. Could you please provide me with it? Willing to beta test to get the widget functionality back a bit sooner. Thank you!
