Weather widgets on lock screen not working iPhone 12

I figured out at least MY issue. I was having an issue where I have full service (as described), and weather app shows weather, but the widget on the Lock Screen - locked or unlocked - just shows —% for precipitation, and likely a blank number for all other measurements.

Go into settings, Privacy & Security, Location Services, scroll down to Weather (or probably whatever other apps you’re having issues with), and select “While Using the App or Widgets”.

Hope this helps!

Hi, try this if this is the same issue you are experiencing.

I had a weather widget on my lockscreen but it shows blank if my phone is locked. However, if the phone is unlocked via face id it will show the weather widget. To fix this, just go to Settings, then choose FaceID and Passcode, once you are in there, scroll down to the bottom where you can see “ Allow Access when locked” then look for lock screen widgets and switch that on. Once done, go back to your lockscreen and it should show the weather widget even if your phone is locked.

I have a similar problem, except I am on a 5th generation iPad Air running iPadOS 17.1.2, and, as posted above by Connorbranscome, I allowed access to lock screen widgets when locked from the beginning. Turning that function off or on does nothing to fix the bug. How do I fix it?

Thank you for the follow up!

So, to get this clear, you’ve set up your weather widgets on the Lock Screen, but they show “Weather Unavailable”, which is a strong indicator of No Service, and you say you have abundant service, so the widgets should be showing data, but are not, in which case I’d recommend contacting Apple Support for further assistance.

If this is not quite the issue, please report back.

Good Luck!

Hello Lulubluestreak!

How is the service on your iPhone?

The Widgets will be blank if there’s no, or little service, because they need an internet connection. If they are sometimes on, sometimes off, you have poor service, and should check out the article linked earlier.

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

This is the most useful reply and should be put on top! Thank you!!!

This was exactly the fix for me - thank you!!

Here’s the solution if it’s showing - - when locked. Settings >Weather>Location>Change to “Always”
