      If you have a Pixel phone, I think your weather app tracking you is the least of your worries at this point

      How else do you think weather apps work?

        Choose the location manually? Control the interval of the “ping”?

    My real default weather app is a self hosted web app that scrapes government websites

    Now, those of us who don’t have a Fold or the tablet have to wait and see when Google plans to bring it to other Pixel devices in the future. Also, I hope that frog is still there!

    I hope it comes to the pixel phones soon. Though I enjoy wunderground it would be nice if that weather widget was more helpful.

      I just want my weather widget to not disappear randomly from the always on display and the home screen when I actually need to check the weather.

      That’s all I’m asking. How is this still a bug years later?

    Ok, but can we please have the ability to remove the current widget since it’s pretty much useless? Same for the search bar that I only use when I tap it by mistake?

        Sure I can do that in the meantime, doesn’t mean it’s not something Google should allow (especially the date/weather widget)

            If enough people complained about it by sending a feedback message they might.
