WalletFeed

Spending widget

The Spending widget shows the total of your purchases for this month on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. You can use the widget without WalletFeed Pro and without a destination.

Totals in the widget

The widget and the Spending tab show the same totals for all the Wallet accounts that WalletFeed reads. The This Month total is from the first day of this month to the last update. The Same Point Last Month total is for the month before this month, from its first day to the same day and time.

The totals include pending purchases. Refunds decrease the totals. Transfers, bill payments and declined transactions are not in the totals.

Widget shapes

Widget Shows
Small, on the Home Screen This Month and Same Point Last Month
Medium, on the Home Screen This Month, Same Point Last Month and the change
On the Lock Screen Spending, this month's total and the change
One line on the Lock Screen This month's total, for example "$1,234.56 this month"

The medium widget and the Lock Screen widget show the change from the Same Point Last Month total with an arrow, for example "↓ 14% vs Sep". The arrow points down when the This Month total is less than the Same Point Last Month total. It points up when the This Month total is the same as or more than the Same Point Last Month total. If the Same Point Last Month total is $0.00 or less, the widget does not show the change.

When you charge your iPhone on its side, iOS can show the widget in StandBy.

Updates to the widget

WalletFeed updates the widget when you open WalletFeed. When WalletFeed is not open, iOS starts WalletFeed approximately 1 hour or less after a change in Wallet. WalletFeed then updates the widget.

WalletFeed Pro is not necessary for these updates. WalletFeed shows Settings › Sync only with WalletFeed Pro. If you set Background Sync to off there, WalletFeed continues to update the widget.

When a new month starts, the widget shows $0.00 for this month. The widget does not show the Same Point Last Month total or the change. After WalletFeed updates the widget, the widget shows the totals again.

Privacy

For the widget, WalletFeed keeps only this information on your iPhone:

iOS keeps a copy of the information that the widget shows. This copy has no transactions, merchants or categories.

On a locked iPhone, iOS can show the widget without the totals and the change.

If you stop WalletFeed's access to Wallet, WalletFeed removes the totals from the widget when you open WalletFeed again.

If there is a problem

If the widget tells you to open WalletFeed

The widget shows "Open WalletFeed to see your spending." before WalletFeed reads Wallet for the first time, and after WalletFeed's access to Wallet stops. The one-line widget shows "Open WalletFeed".

  1. Open WalletFeed.
  2. If WalletFeed shows No Cards or Wallet Access Off, give WalletFeed access to Wallet.

If the widget total does not include a new purchase

When WalletFeed is not open, iOS starts WalletFeed approximately 1 hour or less after a change in Wallet.

  1. Open WalletFeed. WalletFeed updates the widget.

If the widget shows no totals on a locked iPhone

On a locked iPhone, iOS can show the widget without the totals and the change.

  1. Make sure that your iPhone is not locked.
