Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
Google’s Pixel 9 series is set to be unveiled a week from now. While most of the new hardware and AI features have been leaked, the flagship lineup may still have another meaningful change in tow, particularly the standalone Pixel Weather app.
Google distinguishes its Pixel phones from other stock Android devices by giving them standalone apps like a weather app. As discovered by Android Authority, the company will introduce an overhauled Pixel Weather app that will debut with the upcoming Pixel 9 (Pro) and should arrive to older Pixel models via update.
Modern but more playful weather app
The new app, which might not be the final version, will receive a complete redesign with the home screen utilizing an adaptive gradient color that changes based on the current weather and time of the day. This ditches the mono background finish from the previous version that is available in the Pixel 8 (review) and other models.
It is also noticeable the animated card along with the frog character has been ditched from the top. As noted by the publication, there might be changes introduced in the final version of the app, so there’s a chance some animations may be retained.
Furthermore, Google is emphasizing the current weather condition with the current temperature figure and status text being larger. A neat tweak is having the degree symbol replaced by the current moon/sun status.
As for the weather forecast, the hourly card has tighter elements inside now, showing an extended view for the day. Meanwhile, the 10-day forecast has been changed into a card with a horizontal daily view that is scrollable. You can also tap on the day to obtain additional details, such as wind speed, pressure, UV index, and air quality besides temperature and clouds.
Another major change in terms of usability here is support to rearrange these weather elements. You’ll just need to tap and hold the weather widget to move and position it on the main screen.
Still no radar and maps in the Pixel Weather app
Despite these changes, there are still a few vital features missing in the Pixel Weather app, including radar and maps, which is a tool enjoyed in other weather app alternatives.
There’s no word of when the new weather app could hit other Pixel handsets, but it should not take long once the Pixel 9 is out.
