@willanzar Hello, what version of Windy and OS do you have please?

[Carsten Walter]

Hallo, same here, the widget is not updating, there is no possibility to allow windy to use "always the location" in the settings, i use Android 12 and Galaxy S20FE.

@carsten-walter @akajoep @rumzeiss @WillanZar Hello, what version of Windy and iOS do you have please?

[Carsten Walter]

Hey, Version 34.3.2, i think the newest.

@carsten-walter Does it mean that the widget shows no data or it just doesn't update the location? Do you have GPS turned on?

[Carsten Walter]

It does not update the location, I have to do manually.

[Carsten Walter]

GPS is turned on.

@carsten-walter @WillanZar Hello, I would recommend to remove the widget, then restart your phone and place widget again.

[Carsten Walter]

That does not change anything, I have already done that.
The widget does not refresh by itself, I upgraded from Android 11 to 12, that's reason for the problem, the widget works flawless on an other device with an older version of Android.

@carsten-walter Did you restart the phone? Please also check that you have allowed Windy to use GPS while using the app.

[Carsten Walter]

Hello,
I have done that all. Windy has the permission to use GPS.
In the settings there is no possibility to allow windy to use always GPS, that might be the problem, it is only working when you hit the refresh button manually.

@carsten-walter Hello, do you have any battery saving mode on please?

[Carsten Walter]

Hello, no, I didn't.
The widget does not update on two devices with Android 12.
