Weather widget doesn't update automatically

Hello. The weather widget on my Kompakt doesn’t automatically update. Once I tap on it and I open the weather app, the widget updates to show what the weather app does. Sometimes the widget even says ‘weather data unavailable’.

I have already read similar topics about this, but they didn’t reveal a fix. I have location sharing enabled for the weather app.

It’s not a big deal, just a bit annoying. Thanks.

@elbertfink thanks for flagging this. I will ask the team about what could be happening.

Yea it’s been like that ever since the update. Lotta people called it out so I assumed it was just a bug for everyone

Ok, defeats the point of the widget though. It has just become an app icon.

Best solution would be to make the widget work for those who want it, and offer an option to disable it for those who don’t.

I believe that is a distinct issue to the one I’m reporting

Thanks @smuch, just a quick note to keep this thread easy to follow: the question here is specifically about the Weather widget not updating automatically, rather than manually checking for system updates.

Let’s keep the discussion focused on the widget behavior so other users with the same issue can find the relevant information more easily.

@spencersabo & @elbertfink I just got info from our team that it is INDEED a bug & it will be fixed in the next update.
