Weather app not updating

[Cycleguy101]

My weather app has not updated in over 45 min. How does it get its updates? How can I have it update in real time?

In an earlier post somebody suggested that wifi needs to be connected in order for the weather app to be updated, maybe you would like to try that as well.

I’m having the same issue with my new Charge 3.  It won’t update unless I open the app on my iPhone and sync.  I have set All Day Sync and Location to on and I’m on WiFi but doesn’t update. 😞

Hi there @Plap17, it's nice to see you around here! Sorry for the late response my friend. 

I recommend keeping the "all-day sync" turned on so that the Charge 3 will pull your weather as often as possible.

Also, if you open up the app to sync, and then go to the Weather tracking screen with the app open, it seems to send the data through at that point? (as if it needs to be pulled through).

Something that happened to me was that changes done on the Fitbit app on my iPhone were not being synced with the Charger 3. So, I tried General>Reset>Reset Location & Privacy on my iPhone, and then everything started working. So, it's fixed and I can start seeing the Weather on my 'Location'.

Let me know the outcome!

Thanks, Maria. It updates sporadically. When I was going off about it, I was all excited, as with a new toy! I love the Charge3. I don't sit around looking at the Weather app, so no worries. The battery life is remarkable, and I am a daily YMCA-goer.

Thanks for getting back @Plap17! Thanks for the comments provided. I'm glad to hear that the weather is syncing and the battery is going fine. 

In case, I'd recommend taking a look at the article: Can I improve my Fitbit device's battery life?

Ping me out if you need further assistance!

I was having the same problem with the weather app on my Fitbit Versa!  I sorted this by going onto Versa Account (clicking on pic of watch), clicking on Apps, select the wheel by the Weather app, and typing in my actual location, not just United Kingdom - Success!

Welcome to the Community Forums @GMcD! Thanks so much for sharing the steps that worked for you to get the weather app updated on your Versa. 

If you need assistance in the future with the weather app or any other app from the Fitbit App Gallery, I'd like to suggest to take a look at the help article: How do I set up and troubleshoot apps on my Fitbit device? 

Let me know if you have any questions present.
