Weather App inconsistent between users for same location

The weather app is giving very different reports between two phones for the same location 🤷‍♂️. Is there any way to fix this discrepancy? I don’t know which is correct . IPhone 7 running IOS 15.7.7 vs. IPhone 12, 16.5.1.

Hello wsharpe,


Try force restarting both iPhones - Force restart iPhone - Apple Support.


Also be sure to always be using the latest iOS update for the best experience and results.


Furthermore Weather relies on location data, please confirm the following:


  1. Open Settings
  2. Scroll down and tap on Weather
  3. Tap on Location
  4. Make sure it's set to whatever option you prefer
    1. I personally recommend While Using the App or Widgets
  5. (Only because this is an Apple app) turn on Precise Location for better results.


I would not recommend having Precise Location on for third party apps as they will use this data to sell to marketers and advertisers.
