Weather widget not working on ios 11

Same here. Among the numerous oddities is the variation on the issue: same genus but different species: the widget will work for hours then, for me, not update whatsoever, or quite randomly, but seemingly unconnected to GMT.

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 😉

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.

Exactly the same problem here. I started having problems in iOS 10, but they were nothing like the ones in 11. I'm now on 11.1 and the widget still does not update. Here are two screenshots, at 9 a.m. widget shows weather which was at 10 p.m.

It's useless.

Ok great, that’s the actual bug report, thank you. Btw weather should show current city/ area only once like below, may need Reset all details or che k location set to always, prob tell I am new to IPhone , with android app appart from average crash it every ph had widget always worked

I complained to Apple at Product Feedback - Apple about this problem. Is that the right place? Obviously, Apple doesn't read discussions like this or an acknowledgement would have been posted. They should, but they don't.

Well, that "so-called fix" lasted all of 1/2 a day 😠 so decided to try a Restore, again will inform on how things go this time but from what others have fed back will not hold my breath.

Just to keep adding to others observations, I noticed the weather widget still "blinked" as though it was updating and the various hours/temp did change except the main headline temp and the "now" hour, those two remained "stuck". Also, spoke too soon regarding the iPad which also started showing this issue (partially anyhow), but after an hour or so it does resolve itself and show correct temps (ie. mirrors those on my iMac that is) so not quite as bad - what drew my attention to iPad weather not fully work was the lack of temp displayed top right in the News app sometimes, again this did resolve itself after a while.

The iPad behaviour started me thinking this is reminiscent of Apple server problems, but if others have not experienced the weather app freezing that would rule that idea out unless it's location based, so at the moment can only assume it's a bug - has anyone reported issue through https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/ yet?
