The Legacy iOS Widget is Going Away
To make way for a new and improved widget, we are retiring our legacy iOS widget, which was available to users with iOS versions below 18.0.
Why is the legacy widget going away?
The legacy widget, which you may have added to the “Today View” screen on your iOS device, was built on older technology that Apple no longer supports in newer iOS versions. To ensure the widget meets the highest standards for reliability, usability, and security, we are transitioning to a newer, more modern widget.
When is the legacy widget going away?
The legacy widget will stop functioning when version 2.20.0 of the Noonlight app is released.
Action Required: Update Your iOS Version
The new Safety Button widget is only compatible with iOS version 17.5 or newer.
If your device is currently running iOS 17.4 or an older version, you must update your iPhone to iOS 17.5 or later to continue using the Noonlight widget.
If your iPhone is already updated to iOS 17.5 or later, add the widget to your home screen by following these instructions.
How to Update Your iPhone
Go to Settings on your iPhone.
Tap General.
Tap Software Update.
Your device will check for an update. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install iOS 17.5 or a newer version.
We strongly recommend performing this update as soon as possible. If you do not update your device, you will lose the ability to use the Noonlight widget. You will still be able to use the main Noonlight app.
If you have any questions about updating your device or need assistance, please contact our support team, and we’ll be happy to help.
