Google Maps is rolling out a new weather feature, but it seems to be iOS only right now

Google has quietly put in a new weather feature into Google Maps, as noted on the Google subreddit. It's a small feature, but definitely something that will

I think it’s neat, I just discovered it today when browsing on someone’s iphone. Or is it a step in the wrong direction towards 1-in-all apps like Wechat?

    I hope not. Maps has become cluttered with nonsense I’m not interested in enough already.

      I wish there were better alternatives. I really dislike what maps has become. It used to be streamlined. Now in most views i get so many POI listings (ads) on the map its cluttered and confusing. There’s that weird bottom shelf thing that pops up that I have to swipe down… I tried using Here Maps but it once let me to a dead end thinking it was a road and it has this weird bug in navigation mode where it blurs half of display. I opened a ticket with them months ago and they never solved it.

        Have you ever tried something based on OpenStreetMap? Apps like Organic Maps or OsmAnd are really useful and work offline too.
