Testing version: 2.0 (11586) also iOS 16.5 (not 17)
What were you doing: Adding single note widget to iPhone and iPad
What feature did you use: iOS widgets
What happened: can add the the widget but the note is fixed i.e. unable to select the note that I want to display
What did you expect to happen: option to select a specific note in Bear.
Did you press+hold > edit > Bear? I can (at least on 16.5.1) to select my individual note (same bear build)
Also 16.5.1.
Yes, I get the option and can see the selected note.
But when I click on the selected note in the āPick a single noteā section, nothing happens i.e. I donāt get a list of notes to select from. Iāve deleted the widget, restarted the phone etc. Previously this has worked fine.
Which size widget did you use? Wonder if that has any impact. Only other difference I could think - I added my widget to a stack, instead of standalone.
Iāve tried various sizes - stack and stand-alone - the bug persists.
I can trick it by pinning and editing the note that I want in Bear such that the widget selects is as default, but I figured itās worth reporting.
Yeah fair enough - was just curious as I wasnāt able to replicate, so wanted to help determine if it was local issue or not. Have you made application backup, cleared data, tested with a fresh note or two? Obviously at the end you can restore app data.

I havenāt specifically tried this, but if it works as I expect this should allow you to test with no loss of data. Iām happy to give it a try if you are not confident?
Hi, can you try to reboot your device? If this doesnāt work, please tell me if you have a large collection of notes.
Working briefly again on iPad, for no apparent reason, and then stopped. Still not working on iPhone (even after reboot).
2,943 notes.
I also have this issue on iOS (iPhone 14, running 16.5.1), using Bearās 2.0.5 (production version). I add the ā1 noteā widget (any size), try to edit it, but cannot select another note. Rebooting my phone (as suggested above) did not fix the issue.
Yes. Itās still a problem for me. Hasnāt resolved with the production release. Unable to select the note in iPad or iPhone widgets.
Hi, do you happen to have a lot of notes in bear?
Hi Danilo,
Yep, 14k notes and counting.
Tom
any updates on this one?
Hello,
we did some optimizations to the widgetsā note selection because we identified large collection of notes can saturate Bearās widget extension memory. Are you sill experiencing this issue?
Hi Danilo,
I have a similar issue, I donāt know if itās related to the one listed above.
When āLock Bear with Face IDā setting is enabled, widgets canāt access notes database.
Is it the expected behavior?
For example OmniFocus widgets work even if the app is locked (this behavior makes sense to me).
Thereās an additional bug:
If I enable ālock with Face IDā, widget language switches to Chinese (both Bear and iOS language are set to Italian):
If I disable app locking:
Bear 2.0.14, iOS 17.0.3 (iPhone 13 Pro Max)
Hi Danilo, yes, the issue is still there. I checked before submitting my update question. 
Yes. This behavior was requested back in the day by some users concerned about privacy. The scenario is you hand your unlocked phone to someone and they access the widget library. In this scenario, they can read the note contained in Bear even if itās locked. Itās not a common scenario but I have seen people handing phones to children to play/watch videos and I can understand the concern.
Oh thanks, this is a localization issue weāll fix with the next update.
Thanks. I suspect we have to limit the selectable notes to the most recent 2/3 thousand to avoid crashes.
This will be added to the next update (2.0.16)
Thanks for comprehensive explanation
