Weather widget disappears on 5a

[anon(10766205)]

Help! My Pixel 5a weather widget keeps disappearing from home screen. Third time in 3 days. The date remains, only the temperature vanishes. In order to get it back I have to uninstall/reinstall Google updates. Any ideas?

For some users this problem is caused by VPN connectivity. Do you use any VPN app?

Yes, but my VPN has been off.

Yes, but my VPN has been off.

Have you tried rebooting the device after turning the VPN off ?

Yes sir. I don't see how VPN would have an affect on the weather app, as the app operates from the phones locator and not the server location.

You be surprised, the phone location by it's internet WiFi/data which VPN manipulates

Is your location set automatic or manual? Try setting it manually so it isn't trying to use your location to pull weather data.
