Why doesn't my time limit widget update in real-time?

Updated this week

We're here to help.

If you've noticed your time limit widget doesn't update immediately, this is an iOS limitation with how frequently widgets can refresh in the background.
​

How to update your "Time Limit" widget:

Simply open the Roots app and your "Time Limit" widget will refresh to show the current status. We know this is not ideal and our team is working on the right solution.

Your blocking still works perfectly:

Your time limits are always working correctly in the background - only the time limit widget display may be slightly delayed.
