So I have another widget and it seems to talk to my phone. If it doesn't refresh then maybe it will after the Ford app is opened on your phone.

I think that was the correct time in the screen shot. Had just got home, later it updated and the miles and charge level changed too. I believe the ford app was open on my phone.

Update went short trip to store. Got back. Not updating.

It’s been available since the iOS widget and iPadOS became available (they are one and the same).

the widgets only update every 10-16 minutes. So the 2 widget may never be in sync.

All it is doing is mirroring info from your phone.

i do not seem to have the ford app on my mac, and thus cannot select from the widget list.

How did you all get it there? I dont even see in the mac app store or anywhere else.

thanks

Do you have an iPhone?

need both to be on one of the more current OS to have widget mirroring.


To enable iPhone widgets on your Mac
  1. Go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock.
    • Scroll down to the Widgets section.
    • Turn on "Use iPhone widgets" to add iPhone widgets to your Mac's widget gallery.
