Weather widget not working on ios 11

Just to group-report that which has happened again today: No weather widget — native app, TWC, AccuWeather, Dark Sky — currently updates correctly. We’ve had our opinions on this.

Exactly. Same here.

Still working for me also, been four days since update so think I can stop holding my breath, just hope Apple don’t “undo” things with a future iOS release!

Unlike the iOS 10, now the weather widget only updates with location services always on... and you need to see if when you click on the widget it redirect you to the city found by location services on the app...

After a day of checking both devices not sure the update has made much difference, previously the iPad appeared slightly better at updating the Weather Widget, now it looks like it's the iPhone! - but all told they are still glitchy and the temp update can still take several minutes to appear.

Still get the impression it's time related with late evenings being better.

With respect to other Widgets updating, haven't had any issues yet, but they are all iOS supplied (ie. no third party).

I take it you updated over the phone itself, if you are going to try reinstalling via the Mac you could connect your phone but in Recovery Mode, iTunes will then give you the "Update" option - this still replaces the OS but doesn't replace your data (or remove Apps) so when finished you are good to go (if you connect normally you are only given "Restore" which then requires installing a "BackUp" (to import your previous settings) which then triggers re-downing all your Apps again (which can be very time consuming depending on internet speed/number of Apps).

Don't think there is anything else we can do.

In my view, there is no excuse for Apple's failure to monitor its support communities.

That's great, but this is a user to user community.

There is an official way of providing feedback to Apple, and you can choose to make use of it or not.

Product Feedback - Apple

Hi all!

I've the same problem. Gone to an Apple Store and wrote to Apple. But still does not working and no answers.

Resetting locations&privacy properties it works for some hours.

I noticed that it seems a localization problem because I've a similar issue with "Destination" widget and Apple Maps app. I try to explain better.

1 - "Destination" widget often does not indicate me time to arrival for a certain destination (home, typically), only displays the destination (home, gym, work, meeting) but not the time to arrival;

2 - Opening Apple Maps, often the app does not locate me automatically and I have to tap on the "arrow" on the top. After doing this, also the widget "Destination" updates with time to arrival. Very annoying, because I don't receive alert when I have to leave for a destination set on the calendar for example!!!

Anyone noticed the same issue (Destination widget)?

Keep in touch!

I am facing the issue as well on an iPhone X. The widget is not updating at all after a certain time elapsed after reboot.

Nevertheless, this morning I discovered, that the widget came back alive after I opened the Apple maps app. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

For me, the most defficient Apple software products – here I’m not counting products that work properly but poorly, such a Siri – are Maps (less than 50% accuracy over 100 events last year, all documented and sent to Apple); two-factor authentication, which has failed to work twice on my iPhone and iPad; this ongoing problem of the Weather widget not updating; the iOS software for my iPad Air 2, which is continually buggy, despite a complete wipe clean and restore as new with iOS 11; and, finally, CarPlay, which never works right, but it’s hard to know where to locate the problem, since the car maker blames Apple, and Apple blames the car maker, despite writing software for a high-end automobile.

I would rather have these problems worked out and than new features brought forth

Hello crashCart, I don't know what you meant by "" I go to multitask mode to like I’d switch apps."" Please describe how to get to MULTITASK MODE, I am a relatively new iPhone user so some terms evade me. Thanks Bill

This is good news.

It actually reported the high of 16 and a low of 18. I checked for boils and frogs, but it looks like it wasn’t a biblical plague lol.

If it doesn’t stay fixed, I can live without it. There’s more time spent trying to get it to show an accurate forecast than it would be to go directly to weather.com.

I understand some of the comments I’ve seen about Google putting out a better service, but you have to remember. The best Google apps have a beta subtitle. So you can have a perfectly working service, like gtalk changed to hangouts a subpar replacement at best.

They did they same with the Google Debt Card. Something that was backed by visa, accepted anywhere with a magnetic strip reader, for Google Pay, which only works at some locations.

Apple is evolving and there are things I don’t like, but the ecosystem is what attracted me away from the Windows and Android worlds.

These little things can be fixed, but things like one android based device isn’t compatible with another android based device. And I’m talking

Same issue here on my iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 11.0.1.

I've tried setting Location Use to 'Always' but it still doesn't work when looking at the Widget.

Back to the BBC Weather App for me.

Tried all suggestions in thread. All just led to temporary fix. Deleted and installed AccuWeather, app and widget work great. No need to have location on always with it either

Sorry for jumping in, but can only think it means this - Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Genau. On phone and iPad the widget consistently flashes quickly upon swiping then displays correct data.
