No weather animation

my husband and I bought the IPhone XR the same day. His weather app has animation rain or snow. Mine does not. I have done everything suggested in the posts but still none. I have it on my IPAD bit not my IPhone and my updates are current

Hi mjellison1967,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you're not seeing animation in the Weather app on your iPhone, but other devices in your household show the animation in the app. I can see why you'd reach out about this; I'd like to help. I'd recommend checking the following settings first:


  • Tap Settings > Accessibility > Motion; is Reduce Motion enabled?
    • If so, try disabling it and test the Weather app again.


  • Tap Settings > Accessibility > Zoom; is Zoom enabled?
    • If so, disable it and test the Weather app again.


If neither of these settings are causing the behavior, you might try removing and restoring the Weather app:


"Delete a built-in app from your device

    1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, touch and hold the app.
    2. Tap Rearrange Apps.
    3. Tap  in the upper-left corner to delete the app.
    4. Tap Delete. Then on an iPhone X or later, tap Done. Or on an iPhone 8 or earlier, press the Home button.

If you have an Apple Watch, deleting an app from your iPhone also deletes that app from your Apple Watch.


Restore a built-in app that you deleted

    1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to the App Store.
    2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
    3. Tap  to restore the app.
    4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch."
