Specifically App Widgets. 

They now appear in the Notification and Quick Settings menus.

Hi waqqas31,

It seems that app widgets appearing in the Notification and Quick Settings menus is an unintended behavior. This could be due to compatibility adjustments needed after the recent update. To help resolve this, please try the following steps:

Update Good Lock and LockStar: Open the Galaxy Store and ensure that both Good Lock and LockStar are updated to the latest versions.

Clear LockStar Cache: Navigate to Settings > Apps > LockStar > Storage and tap Clear Cache (avoid clearing data as it will reset your settings).

Reapply Widgets: Remove the affected widgets from LockStar, restart your phone, and reapply the widgets to see if the issue resolves.

Thank you.

Doesn't seem to be broken on my S25 Ultra?

Looks like you set up widgets but not "App Widgets". In LockStar, tap on the LockStar button to add them.

Good that you got it sorted out, but didn't have the issue on my S25 Ultra.
