Google Now Weather Still Hasn't Updated

[Domenic Apice]

In January Google made the switch to weather cards with a little frog illustration. It's been months I still haven't seen this update on my Moto X Pure. I get the weather cards but there is no illustration. My main issue with this lack of updating is now that Google has rolled out the Weather shortcut, I am not seeing that either, and that is something I would really like on my homescreen. I've tried clearing the cache on both the Google app and Google Now launcher, have also installed the beta of the google app and still nothing. How do I trigger this server side update?

Thanks.

What area are you in? I wonder if it might not be available in all areas of the world.

Did you also Clear Data from the Google app?

I see the image with the frog when I view the weather on my Moto X Pure Edition, but I never see the image with the frog when I view the weather on my Nexus 7 2013. On my tablet, I just see the forecast but no frog.

I see weather cards on Google Now. I have never seen an image of a frog on those cards. Are you using third-party weather app that posts cards to Now?

Google Now. No other apps not on my Nexus 7.

Laura, do you have the icon on your Home Screen that came when this was first provided?
I *think* I swiped mine up and removed it and don't know how to retrieve it, also don't remember if I ever used it since I don't recall seeing the frog.

I see this:


Then this:


Finally the frog:


I don't have the Google Now icon on my home screen. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and have it hidden. I only see it if I swipe up with one finger.

Here's what I see on my Nexus 7.

That's it. No frog.
Same version of Google App. Also using Nova Launcher Prime exactly the same.

I have no different weather apps on my phone that aren't on my tablet.

Are you talking about the recently introduced Weather shortcut, as described here? Google now offers a handy shortcut to weather info - Android Authority I don't believe that has rolled out fully yet. I still don't have that on my Nexus 6P.

I don't have that on my MXPE or on my Nexus 7 yet.

I got the little weather shortcut this past Sunday. Was checking the weather and the little notification popped up and I said yes.

Rub it in, why don't you? Just kidding. When you tap that, does it just go directly to the weather page with the frog scenery?

Yup, straight to the weather. See attached. I got all excited when I got it, tapped it once or twice and then was like meh! Suppose it's less taps to get to the weather.

From what I can tell the image is from an LG phone. Maybe it hasn't hit Moto X phones yet. I definitely haven't seen a weather shortcut on my phone yet. I do get the image with the frog. I would like that shortcut to be added to my phone.

You would be correct. It is an LG. However, I'm not sure that it should make any difference between brands. Could be due to a different version of play services or services framework etc. It could also be totally at random.

True. Hopefully it rolls out sooner rather than later to give more people access to these types of things. I kind of wished Google would have come out with a weather app a long time ago.

Agreed, if they could turn that weather page in to some sort of widget, I'd be rather happy. The now widget is ok, but not quite as nice.
