Weather widget not working on ios 11

Hmmmm, if i do that and then hold the Home button down, Siri comes on. Then i back out using the Home button. And the Weather temp is still off by 10 degrees from actually using the app insteaad of the widget. I have a 6 month old SE. Bill

Sadly, this does not solve this long-running problem, at least for me: I’m now 45 minutes and 45 miles from last update, and about 6* incorrect, when comparing the Widget to the app, which has correct geolocation and temp.

For work purposes, on two different occasions I engaged Apple’s two-factor authentication, attempting to integrate Apple and MS Outlook calendars, and both times none of my Apple devices would authenticate the others — long stories. Both attempts resulted in a laborious process of completely re-setting my iCloud account just to return to baseline functioning.

All the Apple software problems that I described earlier feel like the awful institutional silo or stovepipe problem with which I am familiar from my own profession. Divisions or departments develop projects up their own chain of authority without adequate integrative oversight.

...the result maybe of getting too big and/or lack of a single point of contact for coordination, who has ultimate sanction on what goes (could that be describing SJ).

That's a couple of days then, see how it goes over this weekend and please give us an update, would be nice to hear 11.3 might be the answer.

I'm still on 11.2.5 and nothing much has changed, it (in the UK) usually "sticks" in mornings and evenings (not sure why), but if left open takes couple of minutes then updates, the rest of the day it's fine and updates immediately.

Yeah, I ran into a situation yesterday where the widget said 24 degrees out and it was in the fifties. Nothing would udpate it, my geolocation never changed. I’m agoraphobic, I go to appointments and that’s about it.

On a more interesting note, there seems to be some flaw in the logic of the widget. I would assume it’s just a mirror of sorts, but the other night it said the high for the day was 23 and the low was 25.

So, there’s more at play than geolocation and app data updates.

I hope they fix it. I bought Dark Sky because I heard it was more accurate, but the same issues happen there.

I’d be happy if they just added a refresh “complication” to the widget just to force it to refresh.

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.

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

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.

Genuinely glad this worked for you. Many of us tried this solution months ago, as well as every other measure, including complete wipe-clean and restore-as-new, but to no avail, as the 17 page string shows. Every solution lasted only a few hours or so. At the moment, and continuing a long pattern since iOS11 and my iPhone 8 Plus, every weather widget, TWC, Dark Sky, AccuWeather, as well as the native app, continues to have update problems for me. We all await 11.3

Yeah; those of us who have posted here for months and tried virtually everything have come to believe -- here I am (maybe unfairly) summarizing -- that the problem is oddly systemic, maybe with geolocation problems, affecting not just the native weather widget, and that it is likely to just be "fixed" without mention in one of the larger iOS updates. Here's hoping for 11.3.

Have the same issue , seems the 11.2.6 update broke something in the weather widget. The app when opened would update just fine but the widget would not unless phone rebooted.

Seems to be a known issue so hopefully its fixed the next update. Until then I've removed the widget and added the abc weather one instead.

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.

Good morning,

15 hours on 11.3 and, for the first time in six months, the Weather widget has worked consistently. You seem to have predicted accurately that a major update would quietly fix what was clearly a complicated bug.
