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?!?!

This is not the case here (iOS 11.0/iPhone SE); if my weather app is set to "while using" it will refresh for the last known location when the weather app gets opened; however, the widget's displayed temperature on the home screen does not update. This behaviour also is unchanged when setting it to "always" use location -- the app's UX itself updates, but the homescreen display does not update (the time of day actually does seem to update: it shows the appropriate icon for time of day; however, the temperature does not update).

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.
