Apple Offers Potential Fixes for Apple Watch Weather Complication Issue

Apple has recently acknowledged the issue with its Apple Watch where the Weather complications on the watch face fail to load data. Since the launch of watchOS 10, many users have reported this problem, both with the initial release and the subsequent watchOS 10.0.1 update. Instead of displaying the expected weather information, affected users are greeted with a blank reading. However, the Weather app on the watch still provides the desired data. It’s a rather perplexing issue that has been bothering Apple Watch owners for some time now.
In light of this, Apple has come up with two potential fixes for the problem. In a support document titled “If the Apple Watch Weather complication isn’t working,” the company suggests users affected by the issue try the following:
Reset iPhone Settings
- On your iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap Privacy & Security -> Location Services.
- Scroll down and tap Weather.
- Under Allow Location Access, tap Never, then tap your original setting.
- Check whether the issue is resolved.
If the weather data still fails to load, Apple suggests the following steps: 1. On your iPhone, open the Settings app, then tap General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone. 2. Tap Reset -> Reset Location & Privacy. 3. If prompted, enter your passcode and proceed with the reset. 4. Check whether the issue is resolved.
Even though Apple has recently released the watchOS 10.0.2 update, initially believed to fix the Weather complication issue, it seems that the problem persists for many users. The update offered hope for a permanent solution, but it has left some Apple Watch owners disappointed.
Apple Watch users experiencing this issue should give these potential fixes a try. It remains to be seen if Apple’s suggested solutions will indeed prove effective in addressing the problem. If you have experienced the Weather complication issue on your Apple Watch, try out these fixes and let us know in the comments if they worked for you. Apple is certainly aware of the problem and is actively working to resolve it, but for now, these are the steps they recommend to get your Weather complications up and running smoothly.
