Your Galaxy’s Weather app just got a facelift: Here is what’s new

Samsung has released an update to its Weather app, version 1.7.30.8, which includes new icons for the Pollen card representing Tree, Grass, and Ragweed. The Wind and Pressure cards have been redesigned with new graphics, and the Moon card now displays moonrise and moonset times side by side for better space efficiency. The Radar card has been improved with additional icons for easier access to specific views like the 6-hour forecast, radar, cloud, and temperature. Users are encouraged to refresh their Weather app via the Galaxy Store to access these updates.

Android Auto is still waiting for more weather apps – nothing has changed in nearly two years

Google announced the rollout of weather applications for Android Auto and Android Automotive, starting with "Weather & Radar" in February 2023 and followed by "MyRadar" in February 2024. The initiative is part of an "early access" program launched in May 2023, which aims to create a dedicated "Weather" category on both platforms. In September 2023, Google introduced The Weather Channel app for Android Automotive, but it received lukewarm reviews. The weather app category remains in early access, and developers cannot publish weather apps for Android Auto or Android Automotive without participating in this program. There have been no significant updates or new weather app releases since mid-2023.
