Not Showing City Name and Temperature? Here’s the Fix!

If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re frustrated about not seeing your city name and temperature on your weather app or website. Don’t worry, you’re not alone! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue once and for all.

Step 1: Check Your Location Settings

The first and most obvious step is to ensure that your device’s location settings are enabled. This might seem like a no-brainer, but trust us, it’s an easy oversight to make!

• On Android devices, go to Settings > Location > Location services and toggle the switch to enable location access.
• On iOS devices, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and toggle the switch to enable location access.

Make sure to grant permission to the weather app or website to access your location. If you’re still having issues, try restarting your device and checking again.

Step 2: Allow Location Sharing

Sometimes, the issue lies in the app or website not being able to access your location. Let’s ensure that you’re allowing location sharing:

For Android devices:
1. Open the weather app
2. Tap the three horizontal lines (menu button) or the profile icon
3. Tap Settings or Preferences
4. Look for Location or Privacy settings
5. Ensure that Location sharing or Location access is enabled

For iOS devices:
1. Open the weather app
2. Tap the gear icon or the Settings button
3. Scroll down to Privacy or Location Services
4. Ensure that Location access is set to While Using the App or Always

Step 3: Check Your Internet Connection

A stable internet connection is crucial for retrieving location-based data. Let’s rule out any connectivity issues:

1. Check your internet speed using an online speed test tool, such as Speedtest.net.
2. Restart your router or modem to ensure a stable connection.
3. If you’re using a VPN, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

Step 4: Update Your Weather App or Website

Outdated apps or websites can sometimes cause issues. Let’s ensure you’re running the latest version:

• For Android devices, open the Google Play Store, search for the weather app, and tap Update if available.
• For iOS devices, open the App Store, search for the weather app, and tap Update if available.
• For websites, clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then reload the page.

Step 5: Reset Your Device’s Location Settings

If all else fails, let’s try resetting your device’s location settings:

For Android devices:
1. Go to Settings > Backup & reset > Reset location and privacy
2. Tap Reset to confirm

For iOS devices:
1. Go to Settings > General > Reset
2. Tap Reset Location & Privacy
3. Tap Reset to confirm

This will reset all location settings to their default values. You may need to re-enable location services and grant permission to the weather app or website again.

Step 6: Check Your Device’s GPS Settings

In some cases, issues with your device’s GPS settings can cause problems:

• For Android devices, go to Settings > Location > GPS and ensure that GPS is enabled.
• For iOS devices, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and ensure that Location-Based iAds and Frequent Locations are enabled.

By following these steps, you should now be able to see your city name and temperature on your weather app or website. Remember to be patient and try each step one by one to ensure you’re not overlooking a simple solution.
