What this guide covers
Recover missing Bible widget after iPhone restart
This issue is usually a lock screen profile or widget cache mismatch. The sequence below restores placement quickly.
Before you start
Full unlock
Unlock with passcode/Face ID before checking lock screen widgets.
Profile check
Verify the active lock screen profile is the one that had Bible Widget.
App relaunch
Open Bible Widget to re-register timeline data.
Step-by-step fixes
Step 1
Confirm you are on the expected lock screen
Swipe lock screen profiles and verify the correct profile is active after restart.
Step 2
Open Bible Widget once
Launch and keep it open briefly so iOS rebuilds widget content cache.
Step 3
Inspect widget slot assignment
Enter customize mode and check whether the slot still points to Bible Widget.
Step 4
Re-add widget if slot mapping is lost
Remove broken widget card and add a fresh Bible Widget card.
Step 5
Test with one additional reboot
Restart once more to confirm the widget now survives reboot cycles.
FAQ
Is this caused by app deletion or offloading?
It can be. If iOS offloads apps automatically, widget references may break until app is fully restored.
Does Focus mode switch make it look like widget vanished?
Yes. Focus can switch to a different lock screen that has no Bible Widget attached.
Should I reset all settings?
No. Use reset-all as a last resort; widget re-add and profile verification solve most cases.
