Hi, is it just me or has the weather widget been acting weird since the last few updates. I was hoping it would be fixed with the latest 16.5 update, but no.

Same here, it hasn’t been working properly since I updated to 16.3
Hello people, not here to give an authoritative solution, but from the little experience I have dealing with iPhones, these are a few things that could work:
- Force close and open the Weather app – It works in most cases to just force the app to close and re-open it. Minor issues can be resolved this way.
- Restart your device – restarting the device can go a long way, it can fix issues that may not make much sense.
- Remove and re-add the weather widget – Try removing the widget and adding it back to see if it starts working properly.
- Update the weather app – Go to the App Store and make sure that the app is on its latest version.
- Check the permissions granted to the Weather app – Go to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Location Services and scroll down to find the Weather app. Make sure it is set to ‘While Using the App or Widgets’ or ‘Always’. Try turning on Precise Location too.
- Check internet connectivity – Very basic, but you never know, something as small as this could be the issue.
Do try uninstalling and re-installing the Weather app too. Since it is an in-built app everybody assumes that it cannot be uninstalled. But it can be done. Check out this link:

If your weather widget is not working on your iPhone since the last update, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor software glitches. Press and hold the power button until the “Slide to power off” option appears, then slide to power off. After a few seconds, press and hold the power button again to turn your iPhone back on.
-
Check your internet connection: Ensure that your iPhone is connected to a stable internet connection, as the weather widget relies on internet connectivity to fetch the latest weather data. If you’re on Wi-Fi, try switching to cellular data or vice versa to see if that resolves the issue.
