Although there are many time apps for Android, few are as complete and pleasant at the view as the official Google app exclusive for Pixel mobiles. Simply called ‘El Tiempo’ (or Pixel Weather), was renewed last year with a large number of novelties, but now, one of these has completely disappeared.
The Pixel time app was updated last year along with the launch of the Pixel 9. As part of this renewal, the app received new functions, although some have not yet been thrown in Spain, such as the weather forecast with AI. Even so, its installation is worth it for a modern interface and a large amount of information presented in an attractive way, and is now available for old pixel models.
Unfortunately, this morning many users have awakened, have proven the weather forecast and have realized that The time map has disappeared. Indeed, the section that leads to a map of the area is no longer available in the Pixel time app, and the change seems to have occurred globally, with US users also complaining about this sudden change in social networks.
Pixel Weather’s time map is one of its most interesting functions. Using our geolocation data, it is capable of showing the changes provided in the meteorology of our region In the next few hours. It even has a timeline, which we can control to see how the area will be in a specific hour; For example, if the clouds that bring rainfall are moving where we are.
The time map is not only a more visual way to check the weather forecast, it is also more precise, because it allows us See exactly where it is expected to raininstead of depending on a generalized forecast by regions. Therefore, it is surprising that it has disappeared, literally overnight.

A striking detail is that the elimination of this function has occurred in all pixel mobiles, at the same time and in all regions. That tells us that it is not a change in the app, since the updates take to reach all devices; Therefore, it is more likely to be A change on Google serversthat they are no longer offering that information so that the app shows it.
Google has not yet made public statements about this change, so it is not clear if it is an error caused by a ‘bug’, or a conscious decision of the company. Therefore, we will have to wait for the company to clarify the situation or solve the problem.
