    Google’s AI-powered weather app is now available for older Pixels

    • Google is expanding its standalone AI weather app to older Pixel devices beyond the Pixel 9. Now, devices from the Pixel 6 and newer versions can use it.
    • This new weather app employs AI technology to summarise outdoor conditions, providing users with more intuitive weather information.

    What happened

    Google is pushing an AI weather application to older Pixel phones running Android 15 and equipped with the latest updates. The Google Weather app can extract saved locations from the built-in weather service already present on Pixel phones. As a result, users can track the weather in multiple locations, arrange weather data blocks, and monitor changes on a map. Furthermore, it provides a weather summary to help users decide whether they need to bring an umbrella.

    For users with Pixel 6, 7, or 8 series devices, an update for the Google Weather app may be available in the Google Play Store. Currently, the app has a rating of 2.3 stars and has received some user complaints. One common issue is the inability to view the weather of a city before adding it to the saved locations list. Despite these concerns, the app remains a popular choice among users. This is especially true for those users who have been searching for a new weather app since Dark Sky was acquired and shut down by Apple.

    Why it is important

    Google is extending its latest weather app to older devices, demonstrating its commitment to all users, including those with legacy models. This initiative not only enhances the overall user experience but also ensures that everyone can benefit from modern technology. The app extracts saved location information from Pixel devices, allowing users to enjoy personalised weather tracking services. As a result, this feature significantly enhances the app’s practicality and convenience.

    Furthermore, Google is strengthening its position by introducing new AI-driven applications that attract and retain users in the competitive weather app market. For those seeking alternatives to apps like Dark Sky, the Google Weather app presents a viable option. This makes it particularly appealing for users who have been searching for reliable weather solutions since Dark Sky’s discontinuation. Ultimately, Google’s efforts effectively fill the market gap and provide a comprehensive weather experience for all users.
