Weather widget not working on ios 11

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?

It can be at any time the issue is considered unresolvable by the user, with respect to the Weather Widget that has now been proven I would say - you can submit this "escalation" in either of two ways, Feedback or Bug Reports.

With Bug Reporting you will be required to login with your Apple ID if memory serves me correctly following registration.

In my view, there is no excuse for Apple's failure to monitor its support communities.

That's great, but this is a user to user community.

There is an official way of providing feedback to Apple, and you can choose to make use of it or not.

Here are the feedback links again.

PS: I also see problems with the weather app. Sometimes it does not update. But it updates in about 10 seconds, so still much better that the widget. I also see my town listed twice (I guess one is my "current" location and the other is the stored location), with two different temperature readings.

PPS: I never in my life saw a working weather widget. Not on Android, Windows 8 (PC), or even a web page. By working I mean showing up to date data. Maybe it is against some natural laws... 😉

I would try changing Weather's Location Services back to "Always" and then Force Restart your device.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

It's been common for some "strange" issues to remain following an update which a Restart might resolve, especially if the update was done on the device itself and not via iTunes which (for me) is always the preferred method.

Worth a try because Weather Widget is still working fine for both my X and Mini 2.

I didn't have to do anything special - it just used Location Services and updated.

Note the app will warn you that you will have to wait for it to update if you only allow it to update the location while using it.

Unlike the iOS 10, now the weather widget only updates with location services always on... and you need to see if when you click on the widget it redirect you to the city found by location services on the app...

I have this issue as well on an iPhone 8 Plus running 11.0.1. Changing regional settings does not help. Even launching the weather app from the widget doesn't even cause the widget to update. Surprised a problem like this would persist for so long.

Same problem on an SE with 11.0.1. Weather app works fine all the time, but widget will only update when I force it to by enabling Location Services (which I generally have turned off). If I don't do that, it'll have the same weather information for days.

I have the same problem. My weather widget show New York Weather and I am not in NY, when I touch it said”would you like add New York weather? That us crazy. By the way my battery it idrains fast with IOS 11. Not good.

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).
