Weather App North Pacific Ocean Affecting Hulu

Hi, kimberlylauren143.

Thank you for reaching out on the Apple Support Communities. We noticed that you’re experiencing an issue where your iPhone was reporting an incorrectly location the other day. Have you had any success in finding a resolution for this? Location Services pulls your location from your cellular connection, Wi-Fi hotspots, GPS networks and sometimes Bluetooth connections to determine your approximate location. If the cellular connection is reporting the incorrect location, it will impact your iPhone. 

If you’re still experiencing the issue, we suggest starting by connecting with AT&T to check for known issues. 

• AT&T Customer Service - Phone Numbers & Live Chat

We also noted that you commented on an Apple Support Communities forum post with a similar issue the other day. Did you get a chance to follow the suggestion outlined here? 

• wrong weather location on iphone - Apple Community

If you’ve confirmed that you’re allowing Location Services to access both Hulu and the Weather apps on your iPhone, try these steps next testing after each step:

1. Do you have any type of profile, mobile device management (MDM), or VPN set up to manage your device? You can check at Settings > General > Profiles. You may need to disable or delete these.
2. Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
3. Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
4. Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
5. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

Still not able to get Hulu or the Weather widget to report the correct location? We suggest contacting Apple Support next.

Cheers.

I’ve had the same issue showing “North Pacific Ocean” when it’s not in use but if I open it it goes to my actual location in southern Ohio per my setting to use my location while using the app. No security apps or vpn. I have limited cell coverage in my area and have att fixed wireless for home WiFi. Never had this issue before a few months ago and have never been east of Illinois. LOL

It is September 24 and Apple has apparently not gotten to the bottom of the problem. Yesterday my phone suddenly began giving me the North Pacific Ocean weather report too. Distracting. I do not have VPN or any other privacy app open. I very recently did an update on my phone. Supposed to fix any bugs. Looks like it gave me one. Not really funny!!!

Same here, i have suspected that someone is trying to hack my phone previous to this. I am an IT professional and see alot of phishing attempts. Recently ive noticed this south pacific island location. I have updated ios, dont connect to public wifi. Looks like ill be wiping and reloading soon.

This just recently started happening to me too, but for Lago Agrio (in Ecuador?). My weather location settings access is set to "While Using the App or Widgets" with no option to select "Always" (it's not a choice in the menu - which was a previous suggestion to correct it).

I'm located in Canada. It is definitely not 30 degrees here today. More like 5. This is so annoying.

My iPhone weather app keeps saying I’m in the North Pacific Ocean as well. I am actually in Utah. I’ve turned my phone off and on, location off and on, and my phone is up to date. Albeit I’d rather be in the North Pacific Ocean (the weather seems much better there) but this problem is annoying.

North Pacific location on Weather App here too. What’s going on Apple? I’m in Colorado.

I’m having the same problem using BT Mobile in the UK. Only started happening since loaded IOS 14.2. I thought it might be VPN but I’ve tried with and without. Come on Apple!!!

Any add-on VPN client apps, add-on security apps, or similar apps, installed here? If so, remove those and try again.

I’ve also seen North Pacific Ocean in the weather app upon opening. I don’t have any extra VPN or similar apps on my phone but I did an iOS update recently.

Is everyone that has this issue using AT&T or are other carriers affected?

T-mobile. Recently switched from Consumer Cellular. Had no problems there.

I have a Verizon contract for years and i see this weather North Pacific Ocean screen and then it changes to my current location. I keep thinking someone hacked into my system

Same thing here this week I’m in Sydney Australia so it’s not an AT&T issue and it’s not a US issue...it’s an Apple issue.

Come on Apple!! 21st November and the weather app is still showing North Atlantic Ocean. I’m in the UK on Vodafone.
