Learn the simple steps to add a Google Weather app icon to your home screen. Skip the hassle of installing additional weather apps – Google Search has you covered with its built-in feature. Access hourly and 10-day forecasts along with details like Wind speed, Humidity percentage, UV Index, and Pressure.
Despite its impressive UI that syncs with current weather conditions, accessing it through Google Search adds an unnecessary step. A standalone Weather app from Google would have been ideal, allowing other Android users to benefit. While this isn’t the case, there’s a workaround to create a Google Weather app icon on your home screen. Let’s guide you through the process.
Access the Google Weather app icon on your home screen by following these quick steps:
- Open the Weather page via At a Glance on your device.
- Tap your profile picture at the top right.
- Choose “Add to Home Screen” > “Add to Home Screen.”
That’s it! Now, with a simple tap, you can directly access the Google Weather app from your home screen. Alternatively, you can use a Weather widget:
- Long press on an empty area on your home screen.
- Select “Widgets” and expand the Google section.
- Long press on one of the available weather widgets.
Place the widget on your home screen and adjust its size as needed by dragging its edges. This offers a convenient way to stay updated on the weather without a dedicated app. For any questions on these steps, feel free to ask in the comments, and we’ll provide a prompt solution.
