CIQ Widgets no longer visible on Status Page - UPDATE : They're there (hidden) !

Until recently I could see the widgets on the status page on my 530, except that now the CIQ ones are not there anymore !

I only see :

 - Battery
- Sensors
- Phone
- Sync Now
- Weather
- Widgets - if I select that it takes me to notifications.

Namely Accuweather and the very useful  GRouteLoader Widget. I tried deleting them using the Connect IQ app from my Pixel 6 and adding them back but no go. Actually when I add them back they stay "queued" for ages in the "Connect IQ app" and then for some reason appear as installed. Using the Connect Mobile app they do eventually install after a long time.

Surely I must not be the only with this problem ? Thanks !

EDIT - they are in fact there, "hidden" by Garmin's terrible UI, once you arrive on the "notifications" page you need to use the UP/Down buttons to go to the installed (or not in case of the Strava segments) widgets.

    Anyone else have this problem or are you all seeing your CIQ widgets on the Status page ?

    Like you, the other widgets have disappeared.  I just never used them, so decided not worth getting excited about.  I'm more miffed about my perpetually zero wind speed on the status page...

    But you're right.  It's an advertised feature that should work.  Open a Garmin ticket and see if you can get them to respond.

    Possibly run out of memory?  When you open Garmin Express under IQ Apps does it show you have room on your device?

    Thanks, I couldn't see what I was doing wrong. I'll try opening a ticket but given how few people seem bothered about this problem I doubt they'll rush out and fix it !

    Yeah, got tons of space left. Apps and DFs can be installed and appear normally, it's just widgets that go into this "void" !

    Ok, ticket opened !

    I wonder if it's not a larger CIQ issue though because I see updates being offered in the CIQ App, I select them and nothing happens even though I forced a sync from the 530 and it completed.

    Using the GC app fewer updates are shown but for those that are they do not complete...what a mess !!!

    Got a vague reply from Garmin after a few days , followed up with spectific questions 5+ days ago and never heard back. As expected they can't be bothered as not enough people are complaining about widgets no longer showing up on the 530 !

    They work for me.  Select Widgets on the status page then press up or down to flip (in my case) between notifications, Accuweather and Segment Explorer).   The Sync/Update process could certainly be faster however.  (I’m on 9.4)

    You're right ! I don't think they were shown like this in previous versions and I found no description of the new "interface". It's a terrible UI in any case, just going directly to notifications and no indication that there might be something else.
