watchOS 10.1 Fixes Apple Watch Weather Complication Bug

[MacRumors]

The watchOS 10.1 update that came out today fixes a bug that was causing Weather complications not to load properly on Apple Watch faces. First reported in September, the issue resulted in blank Weather complications even when the Weather app was working as intended.

Apple in a newly published support document says that Apple Watch owners experiencing a problem with Weather complications should update their devices to watchOS 10.1 or later.

If the Weather complications don't show up even after updating the Apple Watch to watchOS 10.1, Apple says that users will need to reset their iPhone's Location settings. In the Settings app under Privacy > Security > Location Services, Apple says that users should scroll down to Weather, tap "Never" under Allow Location Access, then tap the original setting.

Should that not work, Apple recommends that users go to General > "Transfer or Reset iPhone," then tap on Reset > Reset Location & Privacy to reset all privacy and location settings on the iPhone.

After the watchOS 10.0.2 update came out in September, there were reports from some Apple Watch users that the problem had been fixed, but it turned out that any fix was temporary and the Weather complication stopped working again.

Never saw this issue

 

[surfzen21]

I never had that issue and hope that this fix for those who have/had it doesn't introduce it for me. 😳

 

[jz0309]

had this issue when I first upgraded my Ultra 1 to 10, but disappeared after a couple hours, can't remember what I did. Never had this issue on my Ultra 2 ...
there's been several threads in the forum so hopefully its fixed indeed.

It's about time. It's been an issue for me ever since Watch OS 10.0 upgrade.

 

[Mikeske]

I had the issue when I updated to 10.0 on my series 8 but a couple hours later it just started to work and after that it never reappeared.

 

[movieator]

Yeah, but it broke the HR complication.

Just updated on my S7. HR complication is not working on watch faces.

I can tap where the complication would be and it will open up the app, but it’s blank on the watch face.

 

[Ghost31]

This was an issue for me ever since the big update. Kept uninstalling the weather app and reinstalling to have it only be fixed for like 10 minutes. Good to see this bug get squashed

 

[psxp]

Had this bug on my watch. Unbelievable that such a bug would exist .. don't they do QA testing at Apple anymore?

 

[Moukee]

Always had this issue as soon as I paired the watch with a new iPhone. Glad it's finally fixed, the weather app and complication was basically useless for me.

 

[Macheath_Messer]

Complication worked fine for me with WatchOS 10, but broke for me after 10.0.1. Keeping fingers crossed it will work again! Unpairing/Re-pairing my Watch Series 6, just to see if it will help. Didn't work when I attempted unpairing/re-pairing under 10.0.1, but hoping this time, it will.

Same for me. I guess this is what is expected from Apple's software team these days... fix one bug and introduce another.

 

[garethjs]

never had this issue but updated to 10.1 and on my watch face the weather complication stopped working...

Rebooted watch and it appeared again

But watch app on iPhone still shows missing complications

 

[Prof.]

It appears to have fixed the flickering screen… at least for me

 

[gigapocket1]

They really should fix this. Every time I look at my watch, I feel like I’m having a heart attack…. Looks like 848 per minute at first glance.

Same!

 

[Nairolf]

Can this ugly white box be fixed now too?
I really hate it

 

[ResolutionNZ]

I'm staying on WatchOS 9. It has some music player bugs in fitness apps but its usable.

 

[svish]

Glad to hear that the issue is fixed with this update

 

[RabidMacFan]

So strange that this fix is not mentioned in the release notes.

 

[Zest28]

Why couldn't Apple do a simple hotfix rather making us wait a long ass time for 10.1?

 

[jonnysods]

It was fine on my AW6 until I rebooted it and it never came back. I ended up putting a different weather app on as I appreciate/need the complication.

 

[DDustiNN]

I’m getting a weird issue where I’ll go to look at the time or something, but for some reason, my calendar is open. This has been happening constantly since the 10.0 release. I’ve had Apple Watch since s0 and this has never happened before. I’m on an s8 now.

 

[Japan Ricardo]

Exactly. The humidity is showing on the upper-left complication, and there’s no need to redact the temperature. I get blanking the calendar complication on face down, but the temperature’s hardly sensitive, personal data…

Think this update ruined the battery on my series 6, fully charged watch just dropped to 7% within 5 hours of sitting on my wrist
