TL;DR
- The Weather interface on Android devices is changing.
- Instead of a visually rich interface like Pixel Weather, Android devices now show generic weather search results.
- If you own a Pixel, you need not worry since Pixel Weather isn’t going anywhere.
The Pixel Weather app, launched in 2024, is considered one of the best-looking weather apps on Android. And while the app remains exclusive to Pixel devices, Google has offered a somewhat visually coherent experience on other Android devices through a full-screen weather report page. However, Google has slowly begun removing this full-page report for most users and replacing it with something less exciting.
According to 9to5Google, the full-screen weather interface on Android is being replaced by a standard web search. When you tap the Weather icon on your Android device, you will now likely be directed to a simpler and less visually engaging weather report.
