Missing widgets or an empty widget

Check installation, size, content selection and photo access.

Check the widget picker

  1. Open MuseScreen, check the template preview, then save and install the widget from Library.
  2. Find MuseScreen in the system widget picker. Home screen, lock screen and foldable cover screen use different pickers.
  3. Check that the installed version offers the size you need and leave enough space. If using a third-party launcher, compare with the default launcher.

In the current iOS version, a newly prepared design may not appear directly in the system gallery preview. You can still choose it from the same-size list in Edit Widget; a placeholder does not necessarily mean installation failed. After choosing once, allow the system to update. Refreshing data is a troubleshooting step, not a requirement every time you add a widget.

  1. Add the required size to the home screen, hold that widget, and choose Edit Widget.
  2. Select your saved design by name from the same-size list. If the list is empty, check saving and installation in Library.
  3. Close configuration and allow the system to update. In testing, one explicit selection displayed the design without an in-app refresh. This does not establish automatic gallery previews on every OS version.

MuseScreen placeholder in the iOS system widget picker

Actual iPhone 17, iOS 27.0 simulator system picker in Simplified Chinese. A placeholder shows that the preview is not displaying selected content; it does not by itself mean your design was lost.

Empty or unexpected content

  1. Check that the saved design still exists in Library. Do not delete designs or clear app data as a first step.
  2. Where the system widget supports configuration, select the saved design again. For a photo widget, reselect the image in the editor.
  3. Save and refresh. If needed, remove only the home-screen widget and add it again, keeping the in-app design.

If it is still missing

Send your model, OS version, MuseScreen version and target screen through Profile → Send feedback. Home-screen support does not establish lock-screen or cover-screen support.

Official references

Official system instructions. Menus vary by system version, device and region; these references do not establish support for every system feature in MuseScreen.
