no animation for Weather

Hi,


the Weather app on my new iPhone XR is not animating weather conditions neither rotates to landscape position.

Shall we wait for software update to fix this bug?


Because nothing helps. Tried EVERYTHING!



best,

Greetings, mindaugas187.


I see that you're not able to watch the animations of the weather you're having in the Weather application on your iPhone XR. I'm happy to help.


Reduce screen motion on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and make sure it's turned off.

When Reduce Motion is on, certain screen effects change or are disabled on your device, including:

  • Screen transitions and effects use the dissolve effect instead of zoom or slide effects.
  • Parallax effect where your wallpaper, apps, and alerts that move or shift slightly as you tilt your device are disabled.
  • Animation and effects in certain apps are disabled. For example, weather animations in the Weather app.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- If Reduced Motion was already off, restart your iPhone. Once it's returned to the Home screen, test the issue.


How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch -- If restarting your iPhone didn't resolve the issue, please be sure to have a fresh backup to keep your personal information safe. In order to back up your Health data, the backup needs to be encrypted. iCloud does this automatically, but iTunes doesn't. If you'd like to use iTunes to back up your iPhone, refer to this article: About encrypted backups in iTunes


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Even though the title of the article isn't specific to your issue, the section titled "Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again" will walk you through all the steps to reinstall the iOS software on your device. Test the issue once again.


Let me know how that goes, and take care!

Dear sarah_s1,


thank you very much for your reply and your assistance.


However, I tried everything that you suggested, starting with turning Reduce Motion to off, restarting, backing up, restoring iPhone, but nothing helped so far. The Weather animation is still stuck with blank background and doesn't rotate too.


The local Apple support technician told that he had the same issue and is waiting for the software update to fix this bug.


I am also waiting for some update as I have nothing to do.


It is very strange issue and I am really curious what that could really be.
