Over the years, the Google Weather Android “app” has seen infrequent updates, and the company looks to now be getting rid of it entirely for a Google Search experience that has just been redesigned.
If you’re not on a Pixel device (with the fully native Pixel Weather), Google’s Weather “app” for your Android phone or tablet is actually an extension of Google Search. After saving the shortcut — with its sun icon badged by a ‘G’ — to your homescreen, the feed you get starts with a search bar that also lets you switch to other saved places.
