Weather widget not working on ios 11

I hit reply too soon.

I’m talking about webapps, a game to be specific.

In a world where TCP/IP and UDP are used for connecting services, I find it odd that two people can’t play the same game by the same developer against each other in the same ecosystem, Android specifically can’t play with Apple players, Fire device (android underneath) but there’s no connecting across these devices.

I know this went off topic. But there’s a reason I switched to the ecosystem I used to think the most restrictive as being the freedom for which I was looking all along.

add me to the complainers. no weather update without restarting the phone. f'd up my email and this in one update. it's the simple things, Apple.. don't re-invent the wheel

Weather app works and updates. even if I open the app from the widget and go back, the widget is days old info..

In which case I've been quite lucky in that its only just affected me. What is annoying that since 11.2.6 my phone no longer automatically backs up to iCloud despite it being perfect previously and having the 50gb plan and fully meeting the backup parameters.

It will backup manually fine so I'm hoping 11.3 sorts these issues.

This patch did wonders for weather widget. But Fantastical now no longer populates after this widget fix.

I can only believe this is, as mentioned earlier, systemic.

Widgets for productivity are useless like this. Every swipe to widgets for anything but weather is now suspect due to the way this patch has effected the rest of the widgets.

This patch did not work for me (iphone7 / ios 11.3)

Location Services is set to : NEVER. (as a fixed city is used - this worked correct in earlier ios versions before the weather widget problem arose)

Widget flashes quickly upon swiping (updating ?) BUT data is not correct: wrong time (seems to be freezed, wrong temperature)

Already removed widget / city ... but no success.

SO i think the problem isn't solved yet.

Can't comment on that because never used a fixed location before, all I can say is Apple do have a habit of changing how things work sometimes when updating the OS, it's caught me out a few times and caused a little frustration along the way!

It wouldn't be so bad if they referred to any change in the update notes, but those always seem to be an exercise in minimisation so we are left to really discover things out for ourselves in the end, maybe you have just come across one of these occasions.

My weather app on the locked screen updates the temp instantly as soon as i slide over the that screen. and has been for + weeks. I have not updated from 10.3.3 on my SE yet. I am afraid of messing up the CarPlay interface on my 2018 Buick Encore, that seems to be working just fine. I've read about iOS 11 and up not working properly.

As with SiHancox, the Weather widgets on my Apple devices have worked unwaveringly since 11.3, after never working from 11.0 onwards. (Location Services set to "Always."). I wouldn't worry about that issue at the moment.

Regarding CarPlay, what can I say? If it works for you, then god-bless, and maybe iOS 11 will not be for you, because CarPlay has never worked properly in my 18 month-old Z51, on any version of iOS 10 or 11, and I regard it as #3 on the list of pathetic-running Apple software.

It’s certainly a gamble, which I consider we should not have to take, but the more complex OS’s become the higher the risk that something will “break”, Apple really do need to step up and take this problem in hand, possibly by slowing down releases and affording more testing time, but that’s just my view.

You do need to consider another point though, namely security, sticking with an old OS might not be the best from that perspective, so it comes down to priorities. Try posting a topic to see if anyone else has your device on 11.3 running CarPlay successfully in a similar vehicle, you just might get lucky 😉

No updating here as well: 11.0.1, 8 Plus, all services on all the time.

Thanks. Sadly, I checked location services long-ago. Phone has been rebooted several times. The whole widget section runs improperly post-11.0.1

The app itself works fine for me when I tap on it, just the widget portion of it doesn't update it's temperature.

Me also having same problem in my iPhone 7 after updating to iOS 11

Same here on 8 Plus, iOS 11. Location for Weather set to always on. Actual app does update though.
