Estimations get better with time — the longer you use the app, the more accurate they will be. However, if it doesn't help, you may change the way how the app estimates time: Settings → Time estimates → Estimate Type. In the app's built-in help, there are short descriptions of how each estimation type works.

- Check if "Live Updates" are enabled for the app's notifications in device settings.
- You can always try to turn them off and on again, just in case.
- There's a chance that even if you have at least Android 16, your system doesn't support Live Updates or doesn't support them for all apps (e.g., some Samsung devices). Sometimes it's possible to turn them on via the device's Developer options.
Starting from Android 16, not every OS gives a possibility to change the notification icon, to stick to Material 3 Expressive design guidelines. Instead of allowing apps to change the icon, Android now promotes using Live Updates for status updates.
