What if Weather Does Not Display on the Lock Screen or Wallpaper?

Adding a weather widget to the lock screen or displaying weather on your wallpaper is relatively simple, but sometimes it may not display correctly.

If that's the case, try the following:

  • Check the location settings of the weather app
  • Check your iOS version
  • Verify that the Apple Weather app is installed

We will explain each of these in detail, so try re-setting accordingly.

Check the Location Settings of the Weather App

If you want to show weather on your weather widget or wallpaper, simply turning on location services on your phone is not enough.

Since settings differ by app, check what the location settings are for your weather app.

1. Tap 'Settings'

2. Tap the 'Weather app'

3. Tap 'Location'

Check the iOS Version

To display weather on your iPhone's lock screen, you need iOS version 16 or later.

2. Tap the gear icon 'General'

3. Tap 'About'

If your iOS version is older than 16, consider updating your software.

Note: If your device is too old, you might not be able to update it.

Check if the Apple Weather App Is Installed

First, check which weather app you are using.

If you want to display the weather on the lock screen of your iPhone or iPad, it can be displayed with non-Apple weather apps as well.

If you want to show the weather on your wallpaper, you need to have the Apple Weather app installed.
