As a vital feature of the Google Pixel, the At a Glance widget is currently experiencing a significant bug that impacts weather updates and results in delayed forecasts. Users have reported inconsistencies with the weather information displayed on their devices, leading to confusion and inconvenience. In an official statement released this afternoon, Google acknowledged the issue, stating that they are “currently rolling out a fix for an issue causing outdated weather forecasts on the At a Glance widget for some Pixel users.”
The At a Glance widget is a default feature on the homescreen and lockscreen of Google Pixel devices, providing users with quick access to essential information, including weather updates, calendar events, and Google Home notifications. While users cannot remove this widget, they can disable various integrations that feed it data, such as weather information and calendar events. Unfortunately, many users are finding that the weather updates are displaying outdated information, raising concerns about the reliability of this feature.
According to numerous reports on the Google support forums, the At a Glance widget is showing weather information that is not only incorrect but also outdated. Users have noted that while the widget correctly identifies their location, it often misrepresents the forecast. For example, it may display the previous day’s weather as “today” in the morning, and by evening, it could misrepresent the current forecast as “tomorrow.” This glitch has persisted for at least a week and appears to affect a wide range of Google Pixel devices, not just those with a specific update.
This bug comes on the heels of another issue that impacted the Pixel Weather app, which users access by tapping the At a Glance widget. Previously, users reported that the app had removed the real-time weather map feature, compounding frustrations. At present, there is no definitive solution for the weather update bug, but users remain hopeful for a resolution through upcoming software updates or server-side fixes. While the data being displayed is technically accurate, it is simply outdated, prompting users to stay vigilant and verify weather conditions through alternative means.
If you are experiencing this bug with the At a Glance widget on your Google Pixel device, it is advisable to double-check weather conditions through other reliable sources to avoid any surprises from adverse weather.
