Google app is getting 3 new info-packed weather widgets

Google is working on a few new weather widgets for the homescreen of Android devices. According to an APK teardown by Android Authority, at least three new homescreen weather widgets are in the works for the Google app. The new widgets will overhaul or replace the current options available for Android devices via the Google app. The search titan has already changed its weather experience in the Google app last year with the latest Pixel devices.

Google app will soon have 3 three new weather widgets for Android’s homescreen

As per AssembleDebug’s report for Android Authority, three new weather widgets are in the pipeline for the Google app. The source has played around with the latest beta version 15.28.37.29 of the Google app for Android and found the new widgets. The upcoming widgets will offer slightly more information than the options currently available. The new widgets will include a space-saving smaller option, apart from the two widgets with expanded hourly views on the weather.

The report indicates that Google is working on a square 2×2 widget and a day-at-a-glance hourly 4×2 widget. Furthermore, an expanded 4×3 option includes a forecast of the upcoming next few days. While there’s only a subtle distinction between the upcoming and current widgets, the new ones will provide more weather data.

The current weather widgets offer limited information

At the moment, the Google app offers either a 3×2 widget showing the latest weather, or a bigger 4×2 widget with the hourly forecast. You can easily resize these widgets on your Android phone or tablet. The shape and content of these widgets vary as you tweak their size parameters. However, they do not display the same information as the upcoming widgets.

Google is currently testing out the upcoming weather widgets for the app in the beta version. As of now, there’s no word when these new widgets will be available for all Android devices. We will keep an eye out and will bring you more information on the matter soon, so stay tuned for the latest updates.
