Google's New Weather App Expands to More Phones

TapTechNews May 25th news. Google previously launched a brand-new "Weather" app for the Pixel series of phones. But recently, several users on Reddit found that this app has already supported the use of phones such as the Samsung Galaxy ZFold4, OnePlus Open, Honor Magic6 RSR, and Nokia 4.2.

It is reported that Google launched this brand-new "Weather" app in the middle of 2023, but at that time, it was only for Pixel Fold/Tablet devices. In addition to adopting the MaterialYou aesthetic design, this app also has the "NowCast" feature, which can provide local real-time precipitation prediction.

TapTechNews noticed that Google usually launches certain time-limited exclusive functions for Pixel devices, and related functions will be opened to Android devices of other manufacturers for use after one or two years. Currently, non-Pixel phone users can also enjoy the new look and improved functions of the new weather app.
