      Many phones come with a weather app you can neither uninstall nor disable.

      you can deny location position to your weather app. show the weather for cities you are interested in. Get weather by notifications for “seemlessness”

        Yeah, I was just curious if the app could harvest it anyway via the SDK or something.

          the weather app can’t. Your cell provider can without any phone permissions. Google/Apple secretly could as well. These companies love your government more than they love you.

            They just love whoever pays the most. And they cheat on everyone while getting paychecks from all directions.

      I’m not the person who posted the widget issue, but IME many FOSS solutions (not just weather-related) are more often than not aesthetically/UX crap.
