Hi! I understand you're experiencing an issue where The Weather Channel app loses your layers and settings when you close it on your Android 10 WebKit device. I'd like to help you get this sorted out.
To clarify, by "layers," do you mean map layers or specific weather overlay options? And by "settings," are you referring to preferences like units (Celsius/Fahrenheit), saved locations, notifications, or something else? This will help me provide more precise troubleshooting steps.
Meanwhile, here are some general steps that often resolve this kind of issue on Android devices:
1. Check App Permissions and Storage Settings: - Go to your device’s Settings > Apps > Weather Channel. - Tap on Storage and clear the Cache (this will not delete your settings). - If clearing cache doesn’t help, you can try Clear Data, but note this will erase all app data including saved settings, so you might need to log in and configure again.
2. Ensure the App Isn’t Being Restricted by Battery Optimization: - On Android 10, battery optimization can sometimes automatically close or reset apps. - Go to Settings > Apps > Weather Channel > Battery. - Find and disable any settings like Battery Optimization or Background Restrictions for the app.
3. Update the App to the Latest Version: - Visit the Google Play Store to confirm your app is up-to-date, as older versions might have bugs causing these resets.
4. Check if You Are Logged into the Weather Channel Account: - Sometimes, settings and saved locations are synced to your account and are restored upon login. - Open the app, tap the profile icon, and check your login status.
5. Reinstall the App if Necessary: - If the issue persists, uninstall The Weather Channel app completely. - Restart your device. - Reinstall the app fresh from the Google Play Store.
If after trying these steps your settings still don’t save or the layers reset each time, it could be an app bug or a device-specific issue with how WebKit handles app storage on Android 10.
Could you also tell me if this started happening recently after an update or change?
Let me know what you find or if you want me to guide you through any of these steps! Are you satisfied with this initial solution?
