Problem with search widget

Brave Browser Mobile Support

Since the last update of Brave for Android (Version 1.68.134), the search widget on my phone’s home screen is not working properly.
When I first tap the widget I see the search screen, but when I start typing it doesn’t auto complete any results (it also doesn’t show recent top sites).
When I click my phone’s home button and then tap the widget again, it works as it should and shows suggestions and auto complete.

@udi9,
Can you try removing and re-adding the widget? I just tested on my end and the widget seems to be working as expected.

Thanks @Mattches
I tried removing and re-adding the widget but it didn’t help, unfortunately.
Also tried clearing the app’s cache and restarting my phone, but still the same results.

Thanks for testing. Let me look into this with some Android folks and get back to you.

I have the same issue and in addition when I try to search anything, it doesn’t loads or loads so slow.
