Future of Data Usage Widget
The Xfinity Mobile app is alerting me to the upcoming retirement of the app, and noting that mobile information is in the Xfinity app. The Xfinity app does not appear to have its own widget. Has anyone seen any indication that the mobile usage app will continue to exist after the retirement of the XM app? Better yet, is there any hope of an improved simpler widget that doesn't take up a whole line of my home screen?
Thanks,
Dan

Yes this was the best of all widgets. Wish I had not updated to the new Xfinity app.

So far, the Xfinity Mobile app and its data usage widget continue to function, albiet with the annoying popup warning every time I launch the app telling me about its impending demise. I no longer see the app in Google Play, so I assume it is just a matter of time before it stops working completely. I still see no widget option for the Xfinity app. I rely on this widget to keep track of our shared data plan every month. As a backup measure, I have installed a third-party app on my phone and on my wife's that purports to provide a similar function (My Data Manager by data.ai Basics). Multiple data usage apps and widgets appear in the Google Play Store, but this it the only one I could find that tracks shared data across multiple devices. I think I tried it before but found that its usage totals differed enough from those of Xfinity to make a difference. If yo've found another app with widgets that tracks shared data, please post the info and your experience with it.
Thanks,
Dan

Agree, I don't need whatever other things the new app does, just need to continue using the widget to track data use. I don't care if it's a new app or the old one as long as it works similarly.

She won't answer because this is by design. It seems they are trying to push us off the Gig plans. Maybe the Gig plans are to aggressive and not profitable to them.

Bring back the widget. This also sucks - I have two accounts and now have to hop back and forth to review things where as before I did not.
