Google is getting rid of Android\u2019s de facto Weather app in favor of Search results.\u00a0This deprecation slowly started a few months ago, but is now picking up steam.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update 3\/10<\/strong>: In recent days, we\u2019ve seen this removal widely roll out on all of our Android devices and Google Accounts. This is a server-side change coinciding with version 17.8 of the Google app.<\/p>\n

Original 2\/20<\/strong>: The Google app has long offered a fullscreen \u201cWeather\u201d experience that\u2019s launched from a homescreen shortcut: sun and cloud badged by the \u2018G\u2019 icon.<\/p>\n

Tapping takes you to a single feed with a search bar that lets you switch between saved cities. A Froggy background appears first with the current temperature, high\/low, condition, and feels like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your home screen shortcut now leads to Google Search<\/p>\n

This page was recently redesigned with the Froggy card pulling double duty for current conditions and hourly forecast. This is joined by a 10-day forecast carousel that you can tap on, as well as drop-downs for Precipitation, Wind, Humidity, and Air quality (which is new).<\/p>\n

Google also makes use of AI Overviews to provide a summary of current weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Those who received \u201cThe weather page has moved\u201d notification no longer have a \u201cView all details\u201d button at the bottom that opens the fullscreen Weather experience. Scrolling down on this new experience shows web results.<\/p>\n
