iOS 16.1.1 Lock Screen Weather Widget not working

However, when it comes to updates in the Apple ecosystem, then you could expect an additional component added to it- bugs! Welcoming new issues with each bump in the OS version has now become the new norm for the Cupertino giant, especially when it comes to iPhones.

Is there a fix?

Well, as far as the workarounds are concerned, users have already tried restarting their device and disabling/re-enabling the location permission for this widget, but none of them spelled out success. Moreover, as far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly.
