I have the weather widget on my home screen but it doesn’t update until I tap it and go to the website. I’ve checked and I do have background refresh on for Google. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

My weather widget was working but stopped a few days ago. I have to open it to get an update. I think the security update for November may have kiboshed it.

Thanks, I checked and it was already on so probably on by default since I never messed with it

I did away with that little Google temp in the upper left and added a widget

My weather widget seemed to update overnight. So I'm wondering if the update settings are whacked out. The only setting they let you mess with is Fahrenheit or celsius, lol. A Google search led me to an Old Post that thought the weather updated once per hour. It's obviously not doing that. So I don't know, I like the widget but if it doesn't update it's not much use.
EDIT: It's now about 10 hours later and my weather widget seems to be updating better. Not sure what the update interval is but I'm noticing it's more accurately displaying the current conditions and correct temp. Maybe a server side fix? Don't know but pleased to see.
