Outdated saved location on the Prayer Times page

The Prayer Times page remembers a visitor's location between visits, and an issue in how that location was stored meant it could continue showing a location the visitor had since left. Prayer times were always calculated correctly for the location shown and no data was affected, and most visitors were unaffected. The issue has been resolved and the location handling redesigned so a saved location now updates when a visitor moves.

Timeline

1. resolved

   07:30 UTC

   This incident has been resolved. The Prayer Times page is confirmed to update a saved location correctly across return visits. Impact was limited to the location shown on July 3 and prayer times themselves remained accurate; no data was impacted. A safeguard is in place so a saved location now refreshes when a visitor moves.

2. monitoring

   07:25 UTC

   A fix has been implemented and we are monitoring the results. A manually entered location is now retained between visits, and the page re-checks a saved location and updates it when the visitor has moved. If the page still shows an outdated location, please refresh, or set it again using the Use My Location button or the city field.

3. identified

   07:05 UTC

   The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented. The cause was in how the page stored a saved location: a manually entered location was not retained between visits, and a saved location was not re-checked when the visitor moved.

4. investigating

   06:44 UTC

   We are currently investigating reports that the Prayer Times page was continuing to show a previously saved location instead of the visitor's current one. Prayer times for the location shown remained accurate.
