TL;DR
- Google is discontinuing its legacy Weather app for Wear OS 6 and newer versions.
- Wear OS 6 is the latest iteration of the software and is based on Android 16.
- Wear OS 6 users who already had the old Weather app before upgrading can continue using it, but new downloads from the Play Store will no longer be allowed.
- Pixel Watch users will get upgraded to the Pixel Weather app.
Google will no longer offer its Weather app for new installations on Wear OS 6 and newer smartwatches. Instead, users are encouraged to download other third-party weather apps for Wear OS or use the default weather apps offered by watch brands.
