Just updated to iOS 17.1.1 on my SE. Now my weather widgets are all reading “Location access is needed to show weather near you.” However, when I click the widgets, they open the weather app to the weather in my current location. I’ve tried deleting the widgets and reinstalling and of course powered the phone off and back on. Any idea for a fix?
iPhone 5c
I've switched it to "always" multiple times and it keeps going back to "when using app" for some reason.
this still doesn’t work for me and I am using version 17.5
Same for me. It’s doing it on my watch too and causing the battery to drain on the watch.
What seems to have fixed it for me was to uninstall and reinstall the Weather app.
Yeah, it’s me again. This didn’t work, it was okay for a while and then it reverted back to the same issue. I’m also having the issue with the weather not displaying on my Apple Watch 🫤
Happened to me when I updated to 17.5.1. iPhone weather won’t hold locator at “always” and iWatch will not display weather. Anyone find a fix??
This worked for me.
I’ve been having this issue for a month and nothing seemed to sort it. For some reason there wasn’t an option for me to select “always” in location settings. When I deleted the app, re installed it, opened it, it brought up a system setting to set to “always”.
Yep having the same exact problem, very frustrating as I use the app for work constantly and my locations changing so this function has been very helpful in the past…my mistake for becoming dependent on it…
Did you get any help on this? Mine just started too and it’s driving me crazy when it goes blank on my watch
I was having the same issue after updating to 17.5.1 as well. What I was able to do was go into the weather app and pull up the list of all my locations. In the upper right corner of that screen, there is a circle with 3 dots. I selected notifications in that menu and it gave me the option to set location services to “Always”.
I’ve veen having the same issue, the weather app doesn’t even show up in the locations in settings to change it to allows. Not exactly sure where it went. And always isn’t even an option when I get the prompt for the location. Very annoying.
Same for me. Keep getting asked the widget question. In addition, the weather app seems to have completely disappeared from my Apple Watch. I used to have it as a complication on the watch face, but it disappeared and when I try to edit it back on, the weather app is not even an option. Although it seems if I wait long enough it reappears as a choice but then I have to put it back as a complication. Then it disappears again. Frustrating. Both devices are completely updated and I have switched my answer to the location question to "always" on the SE phone multiple times. Hopefully the next update will fix it.
Yes! Erin’s answer worked for me:
“Go into Settings - Location Services and make sure weather app is set to “always.” I thought mine was, but it was set to “only when using.”
The latest iOS update seems to have fixed it. I guess it was just a bug in the previous iOS/weather app.
Hey, I had the same issue that weather location access was resetting. What fixed for me was updating my watch as well, turned out it did not update automatically like usually.
There is no always selection for weather. Only “when using app or widgets”
Weather widget asking for location access, but location access is already on.
