Installing weather on the iPhone desktop using standard tools is not possible for some users in newer versions of the operating system.
After updating the operating system of the smartphone, most users faced the problem of displaying some system utilities and widgets.
However, the problem can be solved after turning on the geological location mode.
It is disabled by default in IOS, so the weather utility cannot determine the user's location and provide weather information.
Several reasons for the incorrect display or disappearance of the weather widget:
- system crash when trying to determine the geological location of the user;
- the lack of the "Weather" application in the notification center of the smartphone;
- the standard weather application is not supported in the territory where the user is located;
- lack of updating the utility to the latest version.
Enabling user geolocation mode
Follow the instructions:
- Go to your iPhone's settings and click on the privacy section. You will be taken to the user security management menu as shown in the figure below.
- Select the first tab to enable geolocation as shown in the picture.
- In models with newer versions of the IOS operating system, the geological location parameters are located in the system services tab (an example is shown in the figure). In this case, check if compass calibration is enabled.
Also, make sure the correct time zone is selected. Often times, geolocation and time zone mismatches lead to software errors and the Weather application cannot access network data.
Enabling the required system services for the device
After completing all the above steps, restart your iPhone, the application should receive the weather data and display it on the screen after connecting to the Internet.
Important! It should be noted that the low speed of the Internet connection can also cause incorrect display of the weather, because the application is not able to regularly download data. For normal operation of the widget, you must connect to the network Wi-Fi or 3G.
Adding the system Weather application to the Action Center
The "Review for today" widget is responsible for displaying the latest news and weather conditions in the updated IOS operating system.
In order for it to be updated regularly, you need to include it in the notification center of your smartphone and, when you receive new data from the network, you will be automatically notified using the widget on your desktop.

New Wallpaper Iphone X
Seven variants of dynamic wallpapers are released separately in green, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, as well as a multi-color version. The iphone x animated wallpaper is the first relaunch of the format since it was first introduced with iOS 7.
By applying a dark background to the status bar area, the iphone x wallpaper helps to cope with the microphone and camera cut-out, which is noticeable when using regular colored wallpapers and is annoying to many. The dark edge with rounded ends blends the iphone x wallpaper with the top of the screen, hiding the unevenness of the cutouts.
It is worth noting that many people used to add such a panel by editing a picture in Photoshop. Even though the apple iphone x wallpaper solved this problem, the cutout can still be seen when it is illuminated by animated screensaver elements.

# 5 Organize Icons and Set Home Screen Wallpaper
To get the home screen above, you will need to use blank icons, which will create a blank space at the top of the screen. You can also set the wallpaper shown in the screenshot, but this will display the outlines of the dock and the background of the folders.
Step 1: Download and set your home screen wallpaper from here on your iPhone.
Step 2: Set the downloaded wallpaper to your lock screen and home screen.
Step 3: The next step is to add blank icons to the home screen to create the "Dream" caption. Here's how to do it:
And it's all. You now have a modified home screen that looks like the one we used as an example for this article. Note that we did all this without jailbreaking your device.
Many iPhone and iPad owners have probably faced a problem when they have to spend a lot of time looking for the desired program, lost among a huge number of installed applications. Organizing app icons in a handy way can help prevent these situations and make your iPhone more productive.
Remember: you can always use Spotlight to find apps. Just drag down from the top of the display to bring up the search bar (or swipe left and hit Search) and enter the name of the program.
Alternatively, you can use the Siri voice assistant.
How to return the arrangement of icons to the "factory order"
If there are too many icons on the home screen, you can return the desktop to the "factory" appearance. This little trick will arrange the apps in the order the Apple engineers intended. Open up "Settings" → "Basic" → "Reset" → "Reset Settings to Home".
As a result of this action, the applications installed by default will be displayed on the home screen, and all programs you downloaded and created folders will be located on the following pages of the screen. While you might not like the default icon layout, this method will help you separate your apps and get started organizing them on your home screen.
Consistency is the best method to be productive on an iPhone. There are many ways to sort apps, but they will only work if you adhere to your own set of rules.
Arrange icons by parameters:
In alphabet order. The way of arranging icons in alphabetical order (from A to Z) is quite convenient, but if there are a lot of applications, they can "crawl" over several screens. If so, try creating folders like A to C, D to F, and so on.
By color: If you are used to being guided by color, group the icons in the same color scheme according to our example.
By association: Another way out is to place icons of similar applications next to each other. For example, in the center, place the key applications "Mail", "Messages", Safari, on another screen - work tools such as Dropbox, Evernote and OneDrive, on the third - games.
By action: This recommendation applies to folders. Instead of vague terms like "shopping" or "news", use verbs in folder names ("listen", "read" or "watch"). Thus, when searching for a program, you just need to open the corresponding folder with applications.
Use folders
iOS allows folders to be placed in the Dock. You can put your favorite applications on the panel and they will be available from any screen. There is really no limit to the number of folders in the Dock, but it’s better to limit yourself to two, for example, Messages and Mail.
When you have a significant number of applications, folders are a necessary evil, but sorting into folders does not always make the task of finding an application easier. In this case, you can use emoji in the folder names, which will not only please the eye, but also allow you to be creative.
How to arrange icons on the iPhone and iPad desktop anywhere on the screen
Create a desktop that is comfortable for you
This may sound obvious, but we all use our iPhone in different ways. Some users rarely open anything else every day, others download ten games every week, and those who enjoy running or cycling often use apps like Runtastic and Music.
The main screen is intended for the most useful applications, access to which is carried out with one tap, and it is better to place all folders on the second "page". You can view information about the most frequently used applications in the section "Settings" → "Battery"... Click the clock icon to display statistics on the usage time of each app.
The second screen is a great place to place folders, since you don't need to do a lot of taps and swipes to access them. If there are few applications, you can completely abandon the folders.
Do you spend a lot of time looking for the app you use all the time? Move its icon closer to the top of the list, and move little-used programs a little further. Organize programs on the home screen based on their usefulness and frequency of use.
