Is anyone else having issues with Samsung Weather not finding location sometimes?

I have a S22U and a Note 20 U. On my note 20U when I refresh the weather it takes 5 seconds and its pretty quick and able to tell where I am.

ON the S22U, the weather app takes over 30 seconds and then sometimes it can't find the location and ask me to retry. I checked all the permissions and location is set right I even compared this too my NOte20U. I was thinking maybe its because I disabled some bloat but then why would it work sometimes? I am going to try to uninstall the weather app next then reinstall it from a apk.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

Does this happen both on WiFi and mobile data? Are you using VPN?

UPDATE: I fixed the issue.

The cause: Samsung has several location packages and it uses one of them as a hook in to get location data for the weather app. I don't know which one specifically but I disabled them upon setting up my phone. After re-enabling them and restarting my phone, the weather app now works as it should.
