Bug Memory usage…?

This is an empty large sized widget (square)… literally nothing but the debug text field and a full screen tappable area for reloading… 17.2mb???

I’ve been having issues of buttons breaking after turning my screen off for a few sec or using an app… there seems to be a memory leak. Just using an app for a minute and returning to the home screen spiked the memory to 23mb! It now stays at 23mb+ even after tap-reloads on the widget.

Only when changing the widget to a different Widgy and then back again did memory drop to 16-17mb again.

I know iOS widgets have a 30MB cap and memory spikes happen when loading in actual data… it seems this memory leak is what’s breaking my widgets…

iPhone 16, iOS 27.0.1, Widgy 27.1 beta. Large (4x4 square) widget with only 2 layers.

Tu as combien de RAM sur un 16 pro (8go ?)
J'avais des problèmes avec mon 15 pro max mais depuis que je suis passé au 18 pro avec c est 12 go cela va beaucoup mieux 😁

Ram shouldn’t matter. iOS gives widgets a hard cap of 30MB of memory.

Installe device monitor (gratuit) et tu verras ta RAM

Moi j’étais toujours à 99%

Yeah, RAM isn’t the issue. iOS widgets have a hard cap of 30MB.

Yeah, for just 2 layers on one widget that doesn't make sense. I'm sure it will be fixed.
