Google Phases Out Classic Android Weather App, Shifts to Search-Based Experience

• Google is replacing the familiar full-screen Android weather interface with a Search-based results page.
• The old shortcut now redirects users to a Google Search page, integrating weather information with other search elements.
• The classic interface, known for its clean layout and "Froggy" background, offered a distraction-free 10-day forecast.
• The new Search-based page includes hourly forecasts, air quality, and an AI-generated summary, but also related queries and links.
• Pixel users are largely unaffected as their devices have a dedicated Pixel Weather app; the change primarily impacts non-Pixel Android users.
