iOS 18.2.1 location services bug for Weather, Calendar, and Maps Apps

iOS 18.2.1.

iPhone apps (weather, calendar and maps, in particular) always asking for my location. I will select « always » and it’ll automatically change back to « while using the app » or « never » this means that weather on my Lock Screen and my widgets never work. I have tried updating, restarting iPhone, deleting and redownloading these apps in particular, resetting location services, etc. Nothing works.

this seems to be a bug that still hasn’t been fixed for over a year now according to what I’ve read. Has ANYONE found a solution ? I’m becoming desperate as this is REALLY annoying.
