Why is Ford removing widgets from the FordPass app

@Xan
Fair enough. It’d be better if it showed more useful info.

I don’t think it’s a huge deal. The widget was mostly just a battery percentage display. Lock/unlock buttons aren’t that critical for most people either.

You can set up a shortcuts widget for those functions. It’s not through the Ford app, but it works.

I have those in the control center already. Just never found a real need for them. Might just be me, though.

I managed to set up a Shortcut with Siri to lock and unlock the truck. Maybe it was possible before the widget, but I didn’t notice until now.

Edit: I’m disabling updates for now.

Ford said they’ll bring widgets back and add new features. Fingers crossed… still can’t set up widgets on my phone right now. Looking forward to them working properly again!
