Weather app opens to wrong location

No matter what I have tried, my Weather App opens to the wrong city on my iphone. I have ios 17.5.1 on a 15 Pro Max. I have tried shutting it down (several times,) switching location to never, always, and or when app is running, and it still opens to the wrong city. I have to cancel it to get it to open to my city. Any help would be apreciated.

Assuming that the area your weather app opens to by default does not say “My Location” at the top when opened, you should be able to (on the default Apple Weather App) simply tap at the bottom right to open the location switching menu. Within the list shown, you should see one labeled “My Location”. If you tap on that, it’ll open all your location’s weather information. If you stay looking at that location when you close the app, you will open the app next time to find your correct location’s weather report. I hope this helps!

Incorrect Location in Weather App:

Just how far away is this "wrong city"? Note that the location is all based on an IP Address. So, give a few.


Restart your iPhone:
