Ford app widget on Apple iOS only automatically updates every 20 minutes when in Standby

Found the Ford widget and added it to the list of widgets to display when my iPhone is in Standby.

My truck was charging at the time, so I thought this would be a great way to monitor the charge progress while working on other things.

After about 10 minutes, I noticed neither the miles nor the charge percentage had moved. Notice the time in the lower right indicating when the data was updated (9:14AM), yet the time displayed on the left is 15 minutes ahead (9:29AM).

The widget doesn't automatically update, essentially rendering the widget useless.

You can do better, @Ford Motor Company and Brian, not AI.

Maybe I was a little impatient...?

Ford widget updates every 20 minutes. Not real-time, but still regular updates.

Changed title of thread accordingly.

That would make sense. The 12v would get a better big workout if it was realtime.
