Pixel Weather is my favorite weather app; there’s just one problem with it

Google's Pixel Weather app was launched alongside the Pixel 9 series and is noted for its user-friendly design and comprehensive data offerings. It provides hourly and 10-day forecasts, sunrise and sunset times, humidity levels, visibility, air quality, and UV index, all presented in an easily digestible format. The app features an AI Weather Report for quick summaries and has a visually engaging design with bold temperature displays and animated backgrounds. Customization options allow users to rearrange tiles and widgets according to their preferences. Currently, Pixel Weather is exclusive to Pixel devices, limiting its accessibility compared to other essential apps available to all Android users. There is a suggestion for Google to make Pixel Weather available on the Play Store for all Android devices, potentially retaining some exclusive features for Pixel users.

No, you’re not going crazy: One of the best Pixel Weather app features is now missing

Google has removed the Weather Map feature from its Pixel Weather app across all Pixel devices through a server-side adjustment. The Weather Map, introduced in August 2024, provided a radar map experience with a six-hour precipitation forecast and cloud movement tracking. Users can no longer find the Weather Map in city views or locations, even during rainfall. Other features of the app, such as the AI Weather Report, Hourly Forecast, 10-day Forecast, and Wind and Precipitation Data, remain unchanged.
