Google doesn’t list its Weather app on the Play Store, but you can still add it to your home screen by using the official Google app on your Android phone. Here’s how to do it.

Add Google’s Weather App to Your Android Phone

Google’s Weather app is hidden inside the Google app on your Android phone. With a few taps in the Google app, you can place it on one of your home screens. To start, launch the Google app on your Android phone. If you don’t have this app, download and install it first.

Next, launch the Google app. On the app’s main screen, tap the search box at the top.

Tap the search box in the Google app.

In the search box, type “weather” and select it from the search results.

Search for "weather" in the Google app.

You’ll see the current weather information. In the top-right corner of this weather card, tap the three-dot menu.

Open the three-dots menu for the weather card in Google.

In the menu that opens after you tap the three dots, select “Add to Home Screen.”

Select "Add to Home Screen" from the weather card menu in the Google app.

A pop-up with the title “Add to Home Screen” will open. Tap and drag the little sun icon in the pop-up to your home screen where you want the Weather app. Alternatively, tap “Add Automatically” to automatically add the Weather app to the last home screen on your Android phone.

Access the home screen (by swiping left or right on the screen) where you added the app. You’ll see the Weather app on that screen. Tap the app to open it and view your current weather information.
