In another product shift, Google is officially saying goodbye to its beloved Weather experience on Android.

Long-time users who enjoyed the dedicated interface — and its iconic Froggy mascot — will soon be redirected to weather results within Google Search instead.

According to a report by 9to5Google, Google is now moving forward with shutting down the current Weather app experience on Android devices.

While this transition has been gradually rolling out over the past few months, the latest update suggests that the change is now accelerating across more devices.

Users opening the Google Weather app will no longer be directed to the familiar standalone forecast interface. Instead, they will be redirected to Google Search’s built-in weather results page.

Familiar pattern from Google

Long-time users of Google products know the company has a history of launching, revamping, discontinuing, and sometimes reviving its apps and services.

Despite offering many strong digital experiences, Google’s ecosystem has seen frequent changes. For dedicated users, this latest move is another reminder not to get too attached to any single app.

The Weather app had built a loyal following over the years, particularly because of its clean interface and Froggy animations that added personality to daily forecasts.

What changes for Android users?

Under the new update, Android users will still be able to access weather forecasts — just in a different environment.

Instead of the standalone app layout, weather information will now appear within Google Search results.

For most casual users, the core details remain unchanged.

The Search results page continues to display:

Current temperature
Hourly forecast updates
Precipitation levels
Humidity
Wind speed and other essential weather metrics

In practical terms, users will still get weather information at a glance. However, the presentation and user experience will differ from the dedicated Weather interface.

Why is Google making this change?

Google has not officially explained the reason behind shutting down the Weather app experience.

However, the move could be part of broader cost-cutting or product streamlining efforts. Maintaining standalone apps requires ongoing updates, support, and resources — even for a company with vast financial strength.

Reducing overlapping services may help Google simplify its ecosystem and lower long-term maintenance costs.

Not entirely unexpected

This change may not come as a surprise to those closely following Android developments.

9to5Google first reported back in November that Google appeared to be moving in a new direction with its Weather experience. Since then, the transition has slowly expanded to more devices.

Now, it seems the shutdown is entering its final stages.
