With the Google Pixel 9 series ready to roll out at the Made by Google event on August 13th, a new leak has revealed exciting changes to its weather app. Google is opting for a new minimal design for its weather app on the Pixel 9 series, moving away from animations and offering a cleaner, more streamlined user experience.
According to Android Authority, the updated weather app, exclusive to the Pixel 9 series initially, will later expand to other Pixel devices. Despite major tweaks to the weather app last year, Google is pushing forward with another redesign. At first glance, the layout remains familiar, but the cluttered look is gone. The new design is minimalist, focusing on improved aesthetics and visibility. The temperature is displayed in larger icons, making it easier to read.
The app’s background color will change based on weather conditions, with more subtle gradients enhancing the overall look. Users will also enjoy new customization options, allowing them to drag and change items according to their preferences. The location selection screen has been redesigned with larger fonts, making information more accessible and visually appealing.
One notable change is the absence of Froggy, the weather frog, and the elimination of animations, giving the app a more refined appearance. While the lack of animations may take away some fun, the minimal design offers a fresh and clean look that aligns with modern design trends.
The Pixel 9 weather app aims to provide a straightforward and user-friendly experience, emphasizing the most critical information—temperature and weather conditions. Google’s choice to revamp the app demonstrates its commitment to enhancing the user experience with thoughtful and functional design improvements.
As we approach the official launch, more details about the new weather app and other exciting features of the Pixel 9 series will likely emerge. Stay tuned for more updates from the Made by Google event.
