How to fix Weather app location issues post iOS 17.4.1 Update

Phone automatically did a software update and now my location disconnects from the weather app every 5 minutes and only allows me to use location once or whilst on the app. Spoke to senior people at Apple and all they could come up with is to factory reset my phone. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

The constant location requests watch and phone drive me nuts feel like I’m using an android. Something is not right.

iOS update is triggered by the user and does not happen automatically.


Turning off Automatic Updates after a failed update will only prevent automatic downloads for the next update, not the current one.


Here's why:

  • iPhone remembers your update intent: Once you initiate an update, even if it gets interrupted, your iPhone recognizes your desire to install the latest iOS.
  • Automatic Updates act as a convenience: This feature is designed to streamline the update process by automatically downloading new versions in the background. Disabling it simply prevents this automatic download.
  • Manual update check still possible: You can still check for updates manually by going to "Settings" > "General" > "Software Update." This will allow you to resume the interrupted update or download a new one if available.


Please check if both Automatic Download and Automatic Install is enabled.
