Pixel users have enjoyed a feature where they’d see the weather forecast after dismissing their morning alarms for a few months now. It’s a nice way to start off your day, but the company doesn’t seem to be happy with the presentation. According to a new report, the weather in the Google Clock app is getting a nice revamp.
We’ve also heard about this feature a while before it actually launched. When you dismiss your alarm in the morning, you’ll immediately see a brief forecast of the current day and the next day. This feature is only for Pixel users, so most of the Android smartphone market is left in the dust. We’re not sure if the company is planning on bringing it to more phones in the future.
Weather in the Google Clock app is getting a revamp
As useful as this feature is, Google just doesn’t think that it’s pretty enough. This is why it’s getting a pretty major facelift. This change will look familiar to you if you’re used to setting up Pixel phones all the time. You’ll see large and bubbly animations of shapes in the background. This matches Google’s Pixel aesthetic that stock Android is now known for.
On top of the shapes, you’ll see the forecast for the day. On the top left of the screen, you’ll see the current conditions. A bit lower in the UI and to the right, you’ll see the projected conditions for the day. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see the Okay thanks button to dismiss it.
So, this is a nice and convenient feature to have for your app. There’s only one little issue. This is a situation where an app loses some function for the sake of fashion. The older version would show you the forecast for the current day and the next day. After the revamp, it only shows you the conditions for the current day.
So, you’ll need to go to the Weather app to see the conditions for future days.
