Hi there! I understand that the wind direction feature in your Watch Duty app isn’t active anymore. Just to make sure I guide you correctly, are you seeing the wind direction option disappear entirely, or is it just not showing data when toggled on? Also, have you recently updated the app or changed any settings before this happened?

Meanwhile, I can guide you through the usual way to re-enable the wind direction feature in the app, which often resolves this kind of issue.

Here’s what you can do step-by-step on your Android device with Watch Duty in the WebKit browser:

1. Open the Watch Duty app or website.
2. Look for the Layers icon—it’s usually found in the upper right corner of the map screen.
3. Tap on the Layers icon.
4. Select the "Weather" section from the list.
5. Find the "Wind Direction" toggle option.
6. Slide or tap to turn on the wind direction layer.

This should make the wind direction data visible on your map again. Sometimes, updates or accidental toggling can turn this off, so double-checking this is a good first step1 3 6.

If this doesn’t bring back the wind direction feature or the toggle is missing, please let me know. Also, it would help to know the app version you’re running or if you’re using a browser interface. We can then try more advanced options like clearing cache, reinstalling the app, or checking for server issues.

Looking forward to your reply!

Toggling wind direction didn't work neither did clearing cache or reinstalling. Version is 2025.8.6

Thanks for the details and for letting me know you’ve tried toggling, clearing cache, and reinstalling already on version 2025.8.6. Since those common fixes didn’t restore the wind direction feature, let’s look a bit deeper.

I checked for any known issues or recent changes relevant to your Watch Duty version. There are no official notes indicating the wind direction feature is removed in 2025.8.6, so it should still be there. This means it’s likely either a settings glitch or a data loading problem on your device/browser.

Here are some next-level steps for you to try on your Android WebKit browser:

1. Check Location Permissions: Make sure Watch Duty has permission to access your device location, which can affect weather overlays including wind direction.
- Go to your device Settings > Apps > Watch Duty (or your browser app if using browser access) > Permissions > Location and ensure it’s enabled.

2. Switch to a Different Network: Sometimes network firewalls or restrictions affect data layers.
- Try a different Wi-Fi or mobile data network and check if wind direction loads.

3. Enable JavaScript & Disable VPN/Proxy: Ensure JavaScript is allowed in your browser settings since the app’s interactive maps rely on it.
- Also, turn off any VPN or proxy services as they can sometimes interfere with real-time data.

4. Check for Device & OS Updates: Though you’re on Android 10, verify there are no pending system updates or browser updates that could affect functionality.

5. Try Using the Native App: If you’re accessing via browser, try installing the official Watch Duty app from Google Play Store. This often provides a more stable experience for features like weather overlays.

If after these checks wind direction still doesn’t activate, it may be a rare bug or server-side issue affecting your account or region specifically. In that case, I recommend contacting Watch Duty Support directly through their help center at https://support.watchduty.org/hc/en-us so they can investigate your account and provide deeper assistance.

How does this sound? Would you like me to walk you through any of these steps?
