Widgets are built into many Yandex mobile apps, like Yandex.Disk and Yandex.Maps. A widget can also be installed as a separate Android app. Because of that, you may find several identical widgets on your smartphone.

You can remove the widgets you don't want.

Here are the most common reasons why widgets might not show updated information:

No internet connection

Check if your smartphone is connected to the internet.

Power saving mode is enabled

Power saving mode prevents widgets from updating in background mode.

Go to your smartphone settings and make sure power saving mode is off (turn it off if necessary). Power saving mode may also turn on automatically when your smartphone battery is low.
