Google is sunsetting the Android weather shortcut and replacing it with a Search-driven weather experience: tapping the shortcut now opens a Google Search page with a weather card, forecasts, air quality data, and an AI-generated summary. Pixel devices are largely unaffected; non-Pixel users may lean toward third-party apps, reflecting Google’s shift to centralize everyday info in Search.
