Hi there! I see your Met Office Weather Forecast app is showing your location as Georgia when you're actually in the UK. Let's get this sorted for you.
First, just to clarify, are you seeing this wrong location on the app's main screen, or is it showing up elsewhere? Also, have you recently moved or changed any location or privacy settings on your device?
In the meantime, here are some steps tailored for your Android 10 device using the WebKit browser:
1. Check Location Settings: - Open your phone's Settings. - Go to Location and make sure it is turned ON. - Under Location mode, select High accuracy. This uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks to determine your location more precisely.
2. App Permissions: - Go back to Settings > Apps or Apps & notifications. - Find the Met Office Weather Forecast app. - Tap Permissions and ensure that Location permission is allowed.
3. Clear Cache and Data: - In the same app settings menu, tap Storage. - Tap Clear Cache, then Clear Data. This resets the app and may fix incorrect location issues.
4. Restart Your Phone: - Sometimes, a quick restart helps your phone and apps recalibrate location information.
5. Check App Location Settings: - Open the Met Office Weather app. - Check if there’s an option to manually set or update your location inside the app and correct it if needed.
6. Update the App: - Ensure your app is up-to-date by visiting the Google Play Store (if installed) or the website from where you got the app.
Once you've tried these, let me know if the location still shows Georgia instead of the UK. If the problem persists, we can explore deeper solutions or check for any known app or server issues.
