Weather widget not working on ios 11

Hi,


I have an iphone 7 plus. Since ios 11, the weather widget doesnt update at all. The weather app is not working fine either, I changed the location settings to only when you open the app, I tried also 'always on' but then that little arrow icon appears all the time in the top bar, so I refused.


With the location switch on 'when use the app' the widget should update if I open the app, but It doesnt. Sometimes the app itself doesnt update location or weather conditions.


Am I the only one?!?!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11, null

I am having the same problem on my 8+


I've got my location services set to always and the widget just doesn't update. If I tap on it and it brings up the main weather screen that's accurate but the temp on the widget doesn't change unless I reboot.

Same to me on my iPhone 6 and iPhone 8, both on iOS 11.0.2

I opened a case to Apple Support, at first the tried to bounce mw with stupid issues (a second level engeneer told me that it wasn't their fault because they fetch the data from an external source! I spent the whole call tryin to let him understand that it was the same source for both the widget and the app!)

The third time they left the case open waiting for a feedback from developers... Let's wait

My issue isn't location; the location is fine. The problem I'm having is that the widget doesn't update. It's still giving me weather info from Monday. When I tap on the widget, it opens the Weather app, which displays the current weather.


This doesn't change if I activate location services. The only ways I've been able to force it to update are restarting the phone or changing the language settings. Either method is a tedious way to update the widget. It would be great if it worked as it should.

Well... looking closely at widget issue I really think this is "in widget" presentation problem rather thane data update issue. Whenever I switch the screen to weather widget I see location is on (on top of the screen) and looks like widget is loading the data. Even when location is off and weather app is not showing any information, widget is still showing old data. In this regards, I think there might be some graphical glitch in widget that holds on old info rather than showing updated info/data.

I tried the latest solution suggested in this thread, deleting and re-installing the Weather app with location services always on. Still doesn't update on my iPhone 8 Plus. I have filed a report about this with Apple (twice) at apple.com/feedback . It is disappointing that Apple does not find a way to acknowledge it is aware of a bug like this. Apple should monitor discussions such as this and should also send acknowledgements of product feedback notifications. This seems like a decision not to invest enough in customer service
