Google continues to present the different applications that can be found on the Pixel, some of which can be downloaded from the Play Store. This year we received the Google Weather overhaul, which gives the Weather forecast of the interface with Material You.
This significant change has in turn brought a new application of time that is not what we expected. In fact, we did not know the real usefulness but the new addition to the Clock application dispels our doubts. When we turn off the alarm to face a new day, we will see a beautiful animation this will provide us with the forecast.
The new Weather app was used for this
When we knew that one separate Google Weather app arrived at the Pixel, we were hoping to receive the redesign, and that in the process this information section would be updated like any other app. This was disappointing in a way, because it was basically a small companion app to the watch app.
Because? Well, Google wanted integrate weather forecasts directly into the watch app who carry their cell phone. To do this, we had to launch this application mentioned above, in which we saw no sense.
Now Google Clock will show a nice animation when we turn off the alarm. This will make the traditional snooze/stop alarm screen disappear and give way to a weather forecast summary. So as soon as we open our eyes we will know the current weather, useful for planning the day.
What data does this addition give us? First, it displays the current conditions, with the temperature circled at the top left of the screen. Just after, the animation brings us the expected conditions for the day, with the maximum and minimum temperatures.
Finally, it displays a button with the text “Ok, thank you”, which serves to delete this information and continue using our mobile phone normally. The new interface, including the animation, adapts very well to the application, generating a greater consistency with Android design lines.
If we look closely, we realize that this design used is similar to what we already see in the configurations of services like Google Home, or on the initial configuration screen of Google phones.
This addition appears to come from a server-side change, although we’ll likely need to install the recently arrived Google Weather app. Anyway, it’s a feature that’s part of the update to Android 14 QPR1, so should not take long to spread.
