After the 16.4 update, I suddenly got ”no weather data” on my homescreen widget and lockscreen widgets. Also the lockscreen widget shows weather from the arctics… like -15° (it’s 10°). Is it the thick clouds or does Apple having issues with some API?
This happened today, not directly after the update
Just noticed the Shazam lookup was improved - looks better and also the Open in Apple Music button is now front and center, which I love. Previously you had to go through the Share menu. It works much quicker, too (previously it took a long time to load and to open Apple Music).

Same with me! I’ve been seeing others complaining about the “no weather data” on widgets… very strange as I’ve been on iOS 16.4 since release day and this just started occurring today.

Oh wow didn’t know about the maps. I just tried it out and it lost my location a minute in after adding in a destination. Would definitely be a fun time to travel without the weather and directions 🤣

Yes, I also started getting -16°C by default since updating to 16.4. It happens when I boot up the phone or it “wakes up” after “Do not disturb” focus mode. Once the widget pulls the actual data in it goes back to normal, so probably a longer lag than prior to 16.4? 🤷🏻♂️
WTF is Apple doing??? My battery life has been getting worse consistently after each update. 16.4 is by far the worst. Constant overheating and drain on standby.

Every time my phone re-springs or restarts on iOS 16.4, AOD turns off. Anyone else noticing this? I have AOD disabled with DND, but I doubt that's causing issues.
