Weather widget not working on ios 11

Yep, the funny thing is, the night before the patch I noticed that when I’m show more, the widget was showing the current time as 10pm and it was 6am the next morning.

It looks like it wasn’t refreshing at all, now it visibly refreshes each time I open the widget screen.

I wasn’t going to comment yet, still holding my breath, but yes, it looks like 11.3 has sorted. So far the Widget appears to update immediately and shows the content same as App, for both X and Mini 2. You can now actually see the Widget “flicker” with in a second or two when first opening so you feel it’s actually trying to do something!

For anyone that still might not be seeing the same “improvement”, I did this update via iTunes because it was quite large at over 600Mb, and besides, I consider the iTunes method results in less issues overall generally anyhow.

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.

I have the exact same issue. Interestingly, I’ve found that whenever I send a text message, of any kind, the widget automatically updates. Otherwise it remains accurate and frozen as of the time of the last text message.

Aria190 (few posts back) still had issues even following 11.3 update which was only sorted by making sure the Weather App's location services was either set to "While Using..." or "Always" (Settings/Privacy/LocationServices/Weather), I use the latter.

FWIW mines been working fine since 11.3 was released so assumed Apple had now resolved, in fact they have just released another update for screen repair issues (11.3.1) so if you haven't done so yet might be worth a go trying that one and see what happens.

The only other advice if you are still having the problem after following the above would be to try applying the update again but via iTunes (as a Restore), and then use your BackUp to bring back your settings. Failing that do same but setup as New instead of using a BackUp (it could be something in your settings might be corrupt and "New" would avoid that).

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 😉

Same for me on my SE

The app itself works fine for me when I tap on it, just the widget portion of it doesn't update it's temperature.

Not necessarily, this is a user to user forum.

If you want to complain directly to Apple, you may do so here.
