Watch asking about location

Why is my watch asking for my location very frequently even though I enabled location “once”?

Watch keeps asking for location permission Since a few days back the Watcha and iPhone 13 are asking for location permission. I always agree to when using the app. But a few hours later it asks me again! This is new behaviour.

Apple Watch Keeps Asking For Location Permission Apple watch prompt everyday, when I open a location based app, if I would give permission to my location. This is very annoying because I use these apps a lot. I walk out the door, ask Siri to lock my front door and instead of just doing it and can go on my day, it won’t do it because *ping* *ping* I have to allow my location first. Resolve that, ask Siri again and then my door is finally locked. It’s really growing on my nerves… I already disconnected my watch, paired it to my phone again, up to date with system updates, my phone location settings on those apps are set to “Always”. Why can’t they be on my watch?

Apple Watch - location requested Why does my watch keep showing “Location Requested” in the controls screen? I unpaired/repaired and checked all the location settings on the iPhone and watch. It is showing my location in Find my now but my other watch does not show a location requested.

This means you have not granted access to location services for Watch Faces on your iPhone.

On your iPhone open the Settings App (the one for the phone, not the watch)

Tap Privacy & Security

Tap Location Services

Tap Watch Face and set to While Using the App and turn on Precise Location
