Overview
- For most non-Pixel Android users, the homescreen weather shortcut now opens a Google Search results page for “weather,” a change reporters say is now widespread.
- The previous full-screen weather view has been deprecated for many, with some users seeing a “The weather page has moved” notice and losing the “View all details” option.
- Google’s Search-based layout preserves current conditions, hourly data, and a 10-day outlook but condenses the presentation and adds drop-downs for items such as air quality.
- Google has not provided an official explanation, and coverage suggests the shift consolidates duplicative interfaces rather than maintaining two separate experiences.
- Reviewers recommend alternatives for forecasts and alerts, including local TV station apps with meteorologist input, Everything Weather, Windy, and Weather Underground.
