BUG :: Location Setting Limits App Usage
I am on iOS and have used this app forever. I have noticed that if I set the “Location” setting to “While Using the App” the application will not update location on app launch.
Retro Steps:
1) Launch Weather! app in City A
2) Kill/Close application, must not be open in background
3) Open ‘Settings’
4) Scroll down to “Weather!”
5) Select “Location”
6) Select “While Using the App”
7) Travel to City B
8) Launch Weather! app
Results:
The app will still assume you are in City A and proceed to give you Weather for that city. Unfortunately, I am never in the app long enough to get it to switch. Often I just want to see the rain schedule or uv index.
Expected Results:
On fresh app launch the application checks location and updates the city, showing the appropriate weather for City B.
Notes:
My other settings, in case it might be tied to something else, are:
- Siri & Search = both suggestions and lock screen are ‘On’
- Notifications = Allow Notifications ‘On’, Lock Screen, Sounds ‘Off’, Badges ‘Off’, Show Previews “When Unlocked (Default)”, Notification Grouping ‘Automatic’
- Background App Refresh ‘Off’
- Cellular Data ‘On’
- Reset All Accounts ‘Off’
I keep background refresh off and location to while using because when I travel internationally these settings will cause my phone to use data, receive messages, etc which result in fines/extra-charges.
Product has released a fix for this issue. Please create a new suggestion if the issue still occurs.
Thank you,
