Hi Gregorio5148,


If only Weather is affected, you need to make sure location services are enabled for that app specifically.


"How to turn Location Services on or off for specific apps

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
  2. Make sure that Location Services is on.
  3. Scroll down to find the app.
  4. Tap the app and select an option:
    • Never: Prevents access to Location Services information.
    • Ask Next Time Or When I Share: This allows you to choose Always While Using App, Allow Once, or Don't Allow.
    • While Using the App: Allows access to Location Services only when the app or one of its features is visible on screen. If an app is set to While Using the App, you might see your status bar turn blue with a message that an app is actively using your location.
    • Always: Allows access to your location even when the app is in the background."


Turn Location Services and GPS on or off on your iPhone


Cheers.
