IOS 18.4.1 - Location Bug - Constantly Asking for LOCATION PERMISSION for Weather, Maps, Messages, Calendar, Contacts

I'm on an IP15PM w/IOS 18.4.1 (latest as of this posting) ... starting w/IOS 18.3.2, I've noticed constant prompting for LOCATION permission on IOS delivered applications (calendar, messages, maps, weather, etc.)


1). Anyone else experiencing this?


2). Any fixes/work arounds?


iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Same here. Constantly asking for permission for maps and weather. Pain when using apple car play. Not sure if related or not but my Apple Watch is doing it too. Music app is missing some mornings as well then it’s back.

This is a standard permission prompt from the iPhone's Weather app (or any weather-related app). You’ve got three typical options:

  • Allow While Using the App – Only gives access to your location when the app is open.
  • Allow Once – Temporary access, useful if you’re just checking weather for one time.
  • Don’t Allow – No access, which means you’ll have to manually enter locations.


If you want your phone to automatically show the weather where you are — like when you’re traveling or just curious if you need an umbrella — go with “Allow While Using the App.”
