The lit-up night time map, or Earth view, in neither one on the initial atlas screen, will my location show up as a green dot. Was this part of the “upgrade” or something? It shows up there about 1% of the time I rise to wake, or press the button, but it’s basically gone and I dislike that. It needs to be fixed!
Updating iOS on your iPhone should typically not alter the fundamental functionality of the device. It's possible that there were underlying issues before this update, which you might not have been aware of previously or might not have noticed.
In general, iOS updates are designed to enhance the user experience, improve security, and fix bugs, rather than introducing major disruptions to core features. The reported issue of the screen flickering and displaying a white screen after an update is likely caused by factors that are not explicitly mentioned in your post.
iOS updates primarily focus on improving system performance, introducing new features, fixing bugs, and enhancing security. They are designed to preserve your personal data, settings, and information intact.
During an iOS update, your device's operating system is upgraded, but your personal data, such as contacts, photos, messages, and other information, should remain unchanged. However, it's always a good practice to perform a backup of your device before any major update to ensure that your data is safely stored.
It's important to note that while an iOS update itself should not alter personal details, it's possible that certain features or settings may be adjusted or improved with the update. In such cases, you may need to review and adjust specific settings to match your preferences after the update.
Always make sure to read and understand the update details provided by Apple before proceeding with an iOS update, and follow best practices such as backing up your device to minimize any potential risks or complications.

Okay…but I don’t think you read my issue. The green GOS locator only shows up now in that initial screen about .5% of the time. Not core functional, but it’s like they removed a feature I liked for no apparent reason, and I would like that restored! I like to see where I am when I travel & I feel robbed. This part of the “update” is a sham.
Green dot locator absent most of the time now, since 17.1.1update
