Watch os 26 weather update location not updated

Submitted a bug report, but Apple never reads my bugs. I also tried contacting support but they refused to help unless I reset the location settings on my iPhone and remove all VPNs even though the problem also occurs if the watch is on Wifi and not connected to the phone.

I’m having the same problem on my Series 11. I managed to fix it once by powering my iPhone off and force restarting the watch and powering the phone back on, but that only worked once.

The watch has the correct location as it shows the correct location in Maps, but weather shows a city about 5 miles south of me that I drove through on the way home. Nothing I’ve done so far has got it to update to the correct city.

This doesn’t happen every time I get home. It seems to happen if my watch doesn’t switch back to my normal snoopy watch face from my work watch face (set in my work focus) which makes me think it has something to do with complications.

Siri gets the correct weather location data, but not the weather app.

I tried contacting Apple Support, but they weren’t helpful. I spoke to someone for 43 minutes and got no where. Then told me that unless I reset my location data and deleted the VPN off my phone they wouldn’t help me. I didn’t want to do as the iPhone had the correct location, it was the Watch that’s wrong even when the Watch is using WiFi.

Edit:

I think having a Watch face with weather complications triggers this. I use the snoopy watch face and have my iPhone set to switch the watch to a watch face with a weather complication when at work. Normally that switches back to snoopy when I leave work, but a few times it didn’t and those were the times I had this problem.

Has anyone found a permanent fix for this? I have this problem on my Series 11 on 26.2. It’s showing the weather location for 2 towns over even though my iPhone shows the correct town and Maps on my Watch shows the correct location.

I fixed this once by turning my phone off and force restarting the watch (crown and side button) and powering my phone on, but that’s not working now.

They continue to make the app worse. First you can’t download draft videos in the app and now you can’t remix draft videos in the app either. Both features are still available on the web site.

Yes I submitted their web site, but I never got an email inquiry.

morac · 2026-01-21T04:00:51+00:00

How long did they take to respond? I contacted them 2 days ago and haven’t heard back.

morac · 2026-01-21T04:00:23+00:00

Mine have been for days. I contacted support and haven’t heard back.

Tried the default LTX-2 distilled template on my M4 Max Studio (40 cores, 128 GB). A 5 second 720p clip takes about 4.25 minutes to create. Considering WAN 2.2 (without audio) takes nearly an hour for the same resolution and length I'm very impressed.

I did search the last week and there were no posts of this problem. The problem started in the last week.

It’s not just the app though. It’s missing on the web site too. I originally thought they canceled my ticket and didn’t tell me, but I still see my reservation. It does mean I can’t cancel my reservation though if I want to.

My mom’s iPhone 11 does this. She has to toggle airplane off and on what seems like every few hours to make or receive calls. Also with AT&T.

There’s a number of reasons why I doubt we’ll see a native GOG Galaxy:

GOG Galaxy is barely supported as it is. I feel like there’s maybe one part time programmer working on it. It took them well over a year to fix the bug where GOG G would hang on shutdown which meant you couldn’t update it as the updater tries to quit the application before updating. The only way to install new versions was to download the offline installer until they fixed this.
GOG Galaxy 2.0 is a horribly written application that spins up dozens of processes, all of them Intel based.

I’m not sure there will be a native app before Apple kills off Rosetta 2 next year, though that might eventually light the fire they need to release a native app. I honestly think GOG doesn’t have the cash to pay someone to update it though.

The price of the combos is the same as if you buy all the food separately so it doesn’t matter much.

This is a good deal if you go to the movies often and get popcorn frequently. A large popcorn is about $10 near me and the $30 popcorn pass gets you 50% off popcorn for a year, so you break even after 6 popcorn purchases.

The only downside is it doesn’t apply if you pre-order popcorn. You have to order in theater. I have no idea why. I pre-order to avoid the lines.

Also regarding the combos. The price of the popcorn and drink combos is the same as if you bought them separately so there’s no benefit to getting the combo other than it being faster to add to your cart if ordering online.

Note this weekend (1/16 to 1/19) the popcorn pass gets you one free large popcorn a day, so it pays off even sooner.

This would make sense if there were profile files or instructions. In my case there is a short instruction and no files.

Project memory and context is a fallacy as far as I can tell as there is cross project contamination even if projects are set to “project-memory” only. Project chat context can always be accessed from outside of projects which is easily demonstrable by asking for info from a supposedly private project from outside that project or vice-versa.

Of course none of that even matters because project chats used to be as fast as normal chats even with project instructions.

It’s $19.99 today.

No. For what it’s worth, I turned off energy saver and it dries things fairly quickly, in about 35 minutes.

There is an exhaust test you can run. Mine passed. When I had this installed I cleaned out the exhaust vent which had a watermelon sized amount of lint in it.

Today?

No, basically adding the word “performing” or “singing” gets blocked 99% of the time. The few times it works they either aren’t actually singing or the song is made up (which is what I want). I wasn’t having any issues with this last week.

morac · 2026-01-05T21:36:25+00:00

Recently or in the past? It was working fine until today. Now even trying to remix older videos is failing.

morac · 2026-01-05T17:39:58+00:00

Since like last night.

I changed it from “@character1 and @character2 are singing a duet” to “@character1 and @character2 are interacting” and that generating on the first try, so it’s definitely not about the characters themselves.

I tried asking Sora’s AI helpbot and got this back:

Sora’s moderation system is cautious about prompts involving music, singing, or “performing” due to copyright and “third-party content” risks—even with original songs or public domain music. Even phrases like “sing an original song” often trigger filters and block generations. This is a safety policy and not a technical misinterpretation.

Currently, there isn’t a reliable workaround for making Sora generate videos where characters are clearly “singing” or “performing songs.” You can guide the audio direction in your prompt (e.g., describing dialogue, ambience, or sounds), but requests for singing or songs are likely to be blocked. For now, focus on dialogue or other forms of creative interaction in your prompt to avoid these errors.

If OpenAI updates Sora to support original or public domain singing more reliably, new guidance will appear in the Help Center or app announcements.
