iOS 8 Traffic Conditions Widget does not appear

gotta be a bug. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I hope apple fixes this issue because I used this feature all the time on my 5s

I have the same problem with my 5s. No one at Apple seems to know what is causing it. I’ve taken it up with an upper level tech who can’t figure it out either, but is still trying I've been told. I’ve tried restoring the phone, but this did not help either. The restore however did clear my history for some reason and it took a while to start showing up again. Frequent Location History now dates back to Sept. 30, 2014, however still will not display Traffic Conditions in Notifications. So frustrating and Apple acts like they never heard of this issue from anyone before.

Since the iOS 8 update, I have never seen this feature work on my iPhone 5s. Recently, however, I have created an even in the Calendar with Location and time to get there from my Home. At the specified day of the event, I saw on Notification Center the traffic condition on the way to this event. Ever since, the NC starts showing me information traffic condition to my frequent locations. I guess, the Calendar event trigged the NC to show the info and it is now working well.

I removed the CALENDAR from the today summary, and after 7 days the traffic started appearing.

It must be a bug not even discovered by apple/

Apple Maps app, turn on Show Traffic

This worked for me too

got my iPhone 6 Oct.27th and the drive time to work just started working today Nov.12th. So about 2 - 1/2 weeks it took to "learn" my commute

It took nearly 3 weeks and only started to work only after the software update to 8.1, and then only after I powered down my iPhone 5s and turned it back on.

Once I turned wifi on it started working...

Seems like that is a BUG, Currently i am using "INRIX Traffic" app which is providing the traffic updated based on my schedule as the Location service is allowing for "Always" as an option. This "Always" feature is not available for the MAPS App and that is been restricted to "While Using". Hope this will be helpfull to fix this BUG.

The calendar entry only works for that appointment. The traffic info did eventually work about 3 to 4 weeks after my original post. I have a 5c

its not a bug. read above. it takes time

I found a workaround. What I did was make a calendar reminder of what time I go to work with the address of work and reminder of what time I go home so I can see traffic to work and home. You can do this for any other event if you want to see traffic by just adding a calendar reminder and the time that you need to be there with the address and then you'll see the alert when you pull down the widget. Hope this helps

LIke a few others that have already posted, traffic reporting in the notification center showed up after turning on wifi. For those that were seeing traffic sometimes, this is probably the answer.

It's either a buggy app or an extremely sensitive one. Yesterday, it showed a fairly accurate estimate of my commute time - but then I didn't go straight home. Today, it stopped showing traffic estimates for the time it'll take me to get home. It's annoying that I can't tell the app what I expect from it, I have to wait and pray it learns what I want it to do and have no control over the end result.
