While it’s not an entirely new app, the quick access to it is certainly welcomed. Should the user say that they would like the homescreen shortcut, a new icon will appear that simply reads “Weather.” From there, tapping on the icon opens up the Google app and users are taken straight to a screen showing the weather of their initially searched location. With this rollout, if a user searches for the weather in their location or another location, Google will ask if that user would like to add a shortcut to their homescreen to “access weather instantly from your homescreen.”
Google is rolling out a new feature that allows users to more easily access one of the most commonly searched terms.
