A dedicated Google Weather shortcut is now rolling out to Pixel smartphones.
This shortcut behaves like an app and saves you the trouble of manually creating a Google Weather shortcut.
It should appear in your Pixel phone’s app drawer within the next few weeks.
The lack of an official Google Weather app is a constantsource of frustrationfor Android users.
Google Weather can only be accessed through Pixel-exclusive widgets and the Google Search app.
Manually adding aGoogle Weather shortcutto the Android home screen is an awkward process.
That’s why the official Google Weather shortcut is such a breakthrough.
And although this isn’t arealapp, it behaves like one.
Of course, Google Weather has received several improvements this year.
These improvements originally rolled out to Pixel devices and are slowly making their way to non-Pixel smartphones.
But this kind of aggressive rollout may never happen.
Oddly, Google isn’t offering its Weather shortcut on the Play Store.
It’s simply adding the shortcut to Pixel smartphones.
If you own a Pixel phone, you may find the Weather shortcut in your app drawer.
