How to Install Google Weather App on Your Android
The stock Google Weather app is the best when it comes to weather forecasting. But the problem is that the Google Weather app comes pre-installed only on Pixel phones. Google does not provide a native Google Weather app for other Android users. But don’t worry! In this article, I have explained how you can install Google Weather app on your Android phone.
As I told you above, the Google Weather app is the most reliable for accurate weather forecast information. In this, you get a clean UI in which you can see current essential information such as wind, rain, sunrise/sunset time, humidity, pressure, and more.
Nowadays, there are lots of weather-related native apps for Android. And you can download & install it on your phone from the Play Store. However, compared to the Google Weather app, other weather forecast apps are not able to provide as accurate information.
Nowadays, all Android phone manufacturing companies have started providing their own weather widgets along with their UI. Like Mi Weather widgets in Redmi, Xiaomi, or Poco phones, and Samsung weather widgets in Samsung phones.
