Question BBC NEWS app widget issues

[RollingProtocol666]

Hi, if anyone uses the BBC NEWS widget, have they noticed it has disappeared suddenly? I find it very useful to glance at news before actually going into the app. There are issues raised on certain social media sites expressing concerns but no solution as of yet... someone recommended downloading the app, not via Google play store but some other site which includes downloading APK files... my knowledge on this is very limited. Anyway does anyone know how to get the widgets back?

I tried just now, no widgets.

BBC Sport yes.

I only open the full BBC News app screen. Never got in to widgets myself, but I understand their use for most people, especially news apps.

It seems just a temporary widget removal while they update the whole thing, as apparently the BBC team responded here :
