Google introduces ‘Weather’ shortcut to Pixel app grid
Google has recently enhanced its Weather experience, which is currently only available on Pixel devices. The new Weather interface is sleek and intuitive, but the tweak is that it is still hidden within the Google app.
Users who want to access it have to either use the Google search bar or the At A Glance widget on their home screen. However, Google seems to be working on making the Weather experience more accessible and independent.
Some Pixel users have reported seeing a dedicated “Weather” shortcut in their app grid, which looks like a regular app icon. The shortcut has a circular logo with a sun and a cloud, but it is smaller than usual because it is placed inside another circle.
By tapping on this shortcut, you can see the App info menu and Widgets for Google Search. However, it is not an app, as it still relies on the Google app to work.
