Recently, Google has made changes to its Pixel Weather app that have left many users frustrated. The popular Weather Map feature, known for providing a 6-hour precipitation forecast in several regions, including the US, UK, and most EU countries, has unexpectedly disappeared. This tool was particularly valued for offering real-time visual updates tailored to users’ specific locations. Despite the absence of the Weather Map, other sections of the app, such as the AI Weather Report, Hourly Forecast, 10-day Forecast, and Wind/Precipitation data remain functional.
However, some users have reported minor issues with the AI features as well. It appears that there might be a broader problem affecting the app, raising questions about whether the removal of the Weather Map was intentional or a result of an error. Given its popularity, it’s hard to believe Google would eliminate such a useful tool without notice, leading many to speculate on its potential return in a future update. Users have taken to various platforms to voice their discontent.
Comments such as “Why’d they remove it? It’s the most convenient thing that I use every day” and “Google is literally allergic to keeping features people like” reflect the general sentiment in the community. Reports of additional issues, such as the AI Forecast malfunctioning after reinstalling the app, have further fueled frustration among users. Google has been contacted for comments regarding these changes, and updates will be provided once a response is received.
As the situation develops, users are left hoping for a quick resolution that restores the beloved Weather Map feature.
