"Weather Channel app crashes immediately after opening : The Weather Channel app on my iPhone 14pro closes immediately after tapping it open. I recently installed iOS 16.6.1. I have powered off the phone and deleted/reinstalled the app but it is still not working. Any advice?"

Troubleshooting Weather Channel App:

A. Disable a VPN: Are you using a VPN? If so, doable it. VPNs change you location (by changing your IP Address). So, too much may be being put on the app.

B. Contact the Developer:

Being you are having issues with the app, contact the Developer. You'll find their Contact Us info in the app

s site fo the App Store.

For several days now the app for The Weather Channel crashes immediately upon opening it. I have deleted the app and rebooted 10 times. To no avail. I downloaded the Apple update yesterday on my phone and my iPad. Is there something in Settings that I need to change?

One thing I habitually do these days with Weather Channel in particular is always remember to close the app when finished using it. This has worked for me, whereas not closing the app led to failure.

Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

after that upgraded iphone to latest ios 16x something. Still crash

removed app (including data) from iphone

reinstalled app

“Weather Channel app crashes immediately after opening : I received a message from the Weather Channel folks. They said to turn off the WiFi and open the app using cellular data. Once the app is open, turn the WiFi back on. It should then stay open. I tried this and it worked! (So far…🥴)”

Thanks for pressing the word.

It will help many for certain.

For thought.,,

Provide this Thread to the Weather Channel:

Consider replying back to the Weather, providing them with a link to this thread. Im sure they would like knowing about us all troubleshooting this!

Thanks for sharing this - it does help for a while. Seems that the app tries to do something when opened after not being used for a while that doesn’t always work on wifi. The issue is not slow wifi. Perhaps it is trying to determine location from a cell tower. In such a case, the fix suggested is on itself a confirmation that the app has a bug

Try updating the application manually, you can figure out how to do it here.

That worked for me too! Thank you.

I turned off vpn, turned off wifi and turned back on and it still saying check your internet
