Lock Screen Weather Widgets

[Cram]

I keep seeing people's lock screens with widgets for weather yet I don't have such an option on my iPhone 11. Am I missing something?

That's very weird. I've had it on my phone since the very first iOS 16 Beta, it was quite literally a day 1 feature.

I do know that the weather lock screen widget needs constant location access (for obvious reasons). The only reason I can think that you aren't seeing it is because your Weather app is totally restricted from using you location unless you open the app.

I had an issue with a widget not appearing, I uninstalled and reinstalled the offending app (Carrot Weather) and then it showed up.

Well that's embarrassing, turns out the weather app wasn't even on my phone!

That said, it says location services are off but they're definitely on and I can't see weather in the list off apps.

All sorted now, thanks for the replies.
