Not everyone wants weather mixed in with their migraine tracking. Maybe you already know weather is not one of your triggers. Maybe you would rather not share your location. Maybe you simply do not want one more card on your screen. Whatever the reason, turning it off is quick and there is nothing to undo later.
You can turn it back on whenever you like.
Step 1: Open MigraineMe
- Find the MigraineMe icon on your home screen.
- Tap it to open the app.
Step 2: Go to Data and Notifications
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
- Tap Data and Notifications.
You will see a list of categories: Sleep, Physical Health, Cognitive, Environment, Diet, and Menstruation. Each one expands to show individual switches.
Step 3: Turn off Weather metrics
- Open the Environment section.
- Turn off the Location, Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Wind, UV index, Thunderstorms, Pollen and Air quality switches you no longer want collected.
That is it. With environment tracking off, the Environment card on the Monitor tab goes quiet, and weather will no longer be used in your migraine risk.
Step 4 (optional): Stop sharing location
Turning weather off in MigraineMe is enough on its own. But if you would also like to stop sharing your location with the app entirely, you can do that too.
On iPhone
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone (grey gear icon).
- Scroll down and tap MigraineMe.
- Tap Location.
- Tap Never.
On Android
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Apps.
- Tap MigraineMe.
- Tap Permissions.
- Tap Location.
- Tap Don't allow.
This stops the app asking for your location at all.
What happens to your old weather data
If MigraineMe already collected some weather for you, it stays in your history so your past risk scores still make sense. New days will simply not have weather attached. You can delete the history if you want to, by writing to us at help@migraineme.app.
If you change your mind
Turning it back on is just as easy.
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left.
- Tap Data and Notifications.
- Open the Environment section and switch the weather metrics back on.
If you also turned off location, you will need to allow it again.
- On iPhone: open Settings, MigraineMe, Location, While Using the App.
- On Android: open Settings, Apps, MigraineMe, Permissions, Location, Allow only while using the app.
If something looks off after turning weather off
- Close MigraineMe by swiping it up off the screen.
- Open it again.
- The Environment card on the Monitor tab should now say environment tracking is disabled.
If it still shows old data, give it a minute. The app updates the screen on the next refresh.
A gentle reminder
You are in charge of your data. Turning off weather will not break anything else in MigraineMe. The sleep card, the heart card, your migraine logs and your medicines all keep working as before.
