Why Pixel 9 At a Glance widget isn't opening new Pixel Weather app yet

So, you’ve got your new Pixel 9 series device, and you’re ready to dive into the fresh Pixel Weather app that everyone’s been buzzing about. You eagerly tap on the weather info in the At A Glance widget, expecting to be greeted by the slick new interface… but instead, you’re rudely transported back to the old Google Weather app. What gives?

First off, breathe easy — you’re not alone. Several Pixel 9 users are wondering why their phones seem stuck in the past while others are already basking in the glory of the new weather experience. The good news is there’s nothing wrong with your device. The rollout of the new Pixel Weather app via the At a Glance widget is happening, but in true Google fashion, it’s being done gradually through a server-side update.

Google’s doing one of their classic slow-roll updates. This means that not everyone will see the new app at the same time. For some, the switch happened quickly, while others are still stuck waiting.

So, what should you do in the meantime? First, make sure all your apps are updated to the latest versions. Several users reported that after a quick update and a phone restart, they finally saw the new Pixel Weather app when they tapped on the At a Glance widget. But if that doesn’t do the trick, you might just need to play the waiting game.

And don’t worry, you’ll get there eventually. Just think of it as Google giving you a chance to savor the anticipation. Who knew waiting for a weather app could be so suspenseful?

For now, keep an eye on your updates, give your phone a restart every now and then, and soon enough, you’ll be enjoying the new Pixel Weather app in all its glory. And if you miss the little weather frog, don’t worry — there’s always a chance it might make a comeback. After all, Google loves a good surprise.

Google is also investigating Pixel 9 series’ wireless charging issues.
