ios 10 calendar widget shows blank lines

Running iOS10 on an iPhone 5s.


Occasionally (not always), the calendar widget will show blank lines instead of the actual events.

e.g there might be 2 events and 1 bday to show, but the widget will show 2 empty lines and a 3rd with just the bday icon, but no event text in any of them.

The 3 empty lines shown above, correspond to 3 events from 3 different calendars.


I noticed that if I attempt to type in the spotlight box (just bring it up) and dismiss it immediately, the widget will re-render and the text of the events will appear correctly.


Anyone else seen this?

iPhone 5s, iOS 10, null

I am facing the same problem, I got my iPhone 7 recently with default iOS version installed the problem was there. Then I updated it to current 10.1.1 (14B100) iOS version and the problem still exists.

Few more things to add, any time I open the widget drawer, the calendar refreshes itself and this is when sometimes it mess up and don't show the calendar events even though the events are there and if I click any event it opens up in the calendar app.

This happens in lock screen as well as unlocked screen.

Please can you fix this, its very annoying.
