Hello. I have a problem with automatic weather update, as my smartphone is not Samsung. And this problem is not solved in any way. So I decided to update the weather manually, from my watch face. In the new version of Watch Face Studio 1.7.13, there is now a Time of Last Update (weather) section in the ICU date and time section. I can enter the time of the last weather update to my watch face screen.
I can also assign an open app action to that time in the “Apply an action in an open app” section using the Weather app ID - com.samsung.android.watch.weather to tap and call the Weather app.
I have a question. Can I use this function to perform weather update function instead of opening the app without opening the app?
I apologize for my bad English.
Thanks.
I’m also interested in how to add “tap to update” weather.
If anyone has the answer - please…
Hello,
Please check if your watch supports the weather tags or not. You can check this code lab section for this: Get creative with weather data in Watch Face Studio | Samsung Developer
If your watch supports the weather tags, then the weather data will update automatically. If not, you have to use the mentioned way you shared by using the Action feature.
You can use a complication and set the complication provider as the weather. It will automatically update the weather data.
Thanks, but that’s what I wanted. It’s just like swiping the card to the left to the weather. As I wrote before my watch does not update the weather automatically. This is a known problem of the Galaxy Watch 6 in conjunction with a non-Samsung phone. I have solved this problem for myself in a non-standard way, but I want to do it in a normal way.
I would like to make it so that by tapping on this time the weather is updated without opening the application. Otherwise its meaning is lost. I’m currently looking into the weather app activity, but it’s not working out yet. Perhaps someone knows how to do it. Here is this file AndroidManifest.xml . Some of the activities can do this.

Any reason why the weather data is not available on some GW7 watches? I have some users complain about this.
It is because they have a non Samsung phone?
If the watch is connected to a phone, it should show the weather data. If you have any watch that is having this issue, you may check the [WTHR_IS_AVAIL] tag to test.
Yesterday I bought a new smartphone OnePlus Nord 4 (android version 14) , I combined it with the watch 6 and the result is the same. No update.
Hello, I have a Galaxy Watch 6 (new firmware) OnePlus phone android 13. I also tried different options to solve the problem. The result is negative! The weather does not update automatically! Therefore, I think that the android version is not important here.I also installed a Samsung weather widget on my phone. I thought it would help (logically, the Weather app on the watch is paired with the Weather app on the phone) BUT it didn’t work out. The apps don’t see each other (there is no pairing).
