Shock! Google suddenly shuts down its popular app, directly impacting millions of users, including in India.

Google Weather: Google has made a major change for Android users, impacting the daily experience of millions of people around the world, including in India.

Google has made a major change for Android users, impacting the daily experience of millions around the world, including in India. The company has discontinued its old Google Weather mini-app, which had long been a convenient and popular way to check the weather.

Instead, weather information will now appear directly within the Google search page. This change was first reported by 9to5Google. The shortcut that previously opened the weather screen when tapped now takes users directly to the search results page.

The previous Google Weather app was not downloaded as a separate app, but opened as a full-screen experience within the Google app. It was identified by an animated background called Froggy that changed according to the weather.

The interface was very clean and free of ads or additional links. Users could easily see the current temperature, the 10-day forecast, and information about saved cities. This was a quick and convenient way to check the weather, especially for non-Pixel Android phone users.

The new interface is now part of the traditional search results page. It includes hourly and 10-day forecasts, air quality information, and other detailed statistics. While the information is more extensive, other links and related search suggestions are also displayed. This makes the experience less focused and may miss the previous simple design.

This change will have less impact on Google Pixel users, as these devices already have a separate Pixel Weather app. The real impact will be on users who regularly use the old Weather shortcut on other Android phones.

Indeed, this move is considered part of the company's larger strategy to integrate more services directly into the search platform by removing various smaller features. This is unifying the system, but for many users, the old, simple, and familiar experience is now a thing of the past.
